About the Film
L’orphelin (The orphan), directed by Montréal based director Douglas Capron. An in-depth exploration of the Andromeda galaxy is used to express the original song L’orphelin, lyrics and music composed by Benoît LeBlanc. The main image is the largest and sharpest image ever taken of the Andromeda galaxy, approximately 2 million light years from earth, captured with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope. The section of the galaxy displayed during the first phase of the video shows over 100 million stars and thousands of star clusters stretching across over 40 000 light-years.
