Órbita 9 (Hatem Khraiche, 2017)

A young woman lives in isolation on a spaceship heading to a remote planet, having spent her whole life there. Her whole life changes when an engineer arrives to repair the ship's systems and they fall in love. Thereafter, it's unsurprisingly revealed that there is more to her environment than meets the eye.
Orbiter 9 borrows heavily from a host of sources in terms of both its initial premise and subsequent revelations, and does strain credibility more and more as things move on, but it does make the most of its limited budget and the twists work just well enough to keep you watching nevertheless.

5/10
