Synopsis
He survived the surgery. But something inside him didn’t come back.
In Knocked Out of Orbit, a man awakens from a successful quadruple bypass surgery to find that everything around him looks the same—but nothing feels familiar. Once defined by his work, his relationships, his rhythm of life, he now moves through the days like a visitor in his own story.
He can speak about his past, recall what he's done, even list his achievements—but none of it feels like it belongs to him anymore. Emotionally adrift and existentially altered, he begins to question not just how to return to life, but whether the man he once was still exists at all.
Told with restraint, poetry, and piercing honesty, Knocked Out of Orbit is a deeply human meditation on trauma, identity, and the quiet rupture that occurs when survival comes at the cost of continuity. It's a story for anyone who’s ever come back from the edge only to find that home is no longer where they left it.
Etude for a Lost Soul tells the story of a man tethered to a grand piano and a past full of broken chords. With fading memories and a lifetime of regrets, he wanders through the remnants of a musical life, where each note played is a plea to remember, to matter, to be heard.
