Orbit Ever After (2013)

In the endlessly revolving cosmos, young Nigel's entire existence has been confined to his family's decaying spaceship, perpetually orbiting Earth. Living a life precariously balanced on the razor's edge of survival, every action taken by his overly cautious family is dictated by the relentless need for safety. However, Nigel yearns for more than just survival; he longs for a connection that transcends their orbital boundaries. His heart beats for a girl he only glimpses intermittently from a distance, their emotional bond palpable even in the vacuum of space, despite the silence that separates them. In a universe that seems to conspire against them, the girl orbits Earth in the wrong direction, setting her apart from the other girls who travel the right way in Nigel's eyes. Yet, the heart knows no bounds, and when she attempts to bridge their cosmic distance, Nigel must choose between his family's cautious existence and a potentially perilous pursuit of love. Simultaneously, each member of Nigel's family faces a similar decision, each holding a tiny yet crucial piece of the puzzle. Now, they must decide whether to follow the rules of survival they've always known or risk it all for a chance at a connection that might be as fleeting as their orbits. In this ramshackle space hovel, love, risk, and the relentless pull of the heart collide in a unique dance of destiny, leaving viewers to wonder - in the vast expanse of the universe, can love truly find a way?
