Orpheus

  • Log in or register to post comments

In post-war bohemian Paris, a famous poet, trapped in a cycle of disillusionment and creative anguish, becomes the obsession of a mysterious woman who seems to come from another world. This enigmatic figure, who has captivated the poet's attention, displays a supernatural beauty and an aura of the unknown. As the artist grapples with reality and his own fantasies, he finds himself ensnared in a deadly game that transcends life and death.

With a unique visual style, the plot unfolds among the cobblestone streets of Paris and the dark abysses of the underworld. The influence of Greek mythology intertwines with subtle references to the contemporary world, creating a surreal environment that raises profound questions about love, loss, and sacrifice. The poet, increasingly fascinated by the woman, delves into a realm where the boundaries between life and death blur, and he begins to lose control over his own existence.

As the story progresses, moral dilemmas and personal tragedies unfold, leading the protagonist to choose between his longing for artistic immortality and the inevitable reality of his mortality. With an atmosphere laden with symbolism and poetry, this work becomes a metaphor for the power and cost of creation, as well as the impact of love on art and life itself.
