Historia
Orpheline follows Renée, a schoolteacher struggling with her past and present life. The film is divided into four periods of her life: childhood, puberty, adolescence, and adulthood.
In her adulthood, Renée is emotionally damaged, committed to teaching underprivileged youth, and trying to have a child with her boyfriend. However, her past resurfaces in the form of Tara, a gambler who has unfinished business with her dating back seven years.
Flashbacks reveal Sandra, a careless 20-something introduced to horse racing by Lev, an elderly professional gambler who gives her a job as a 'mule' carrying bet money. Before that, Karine, an audacious 13-year-old, engages in superficial relationships while running from her brutal father. The film's earliest scene shows Kiki, a little girl hiding during a game that turns disastrous.
Throughout the film, Renée navigates these interconnected parallel lives to ultimately find freedom and reach the core of her being.
Resumen
Orpheline (2016), directed by Arnaud des Pallières, is a complex exploration of a woman's life across four significant periods: childhood, puberty, adolescence, and adulthood. The film interweaves these stages to paint a fractured portrait of Renée, a character determined to achieve freedom despite her emotional scars.
Renée's journey takes her from being Kiki, an innocent child hiding during a game that goes awry, to Karine, a rebellious teenager fleeing her father's brutality, and Sandra, a careless young woman drawn into the world of horse racing by Lev. Her adulthood is marked by her commitment to teaching underprivileged youth while grappling with her past in the form of Tara.
The film navigates themes of identity, redemption, and freedom, as Renée struggles to overcome her past and find herself. Orpheline is a psychological drama-thriller that delves deep into the intricacies of human nature.
