A visually lush, musically driven reimagining of the Orpheus myth set in a contemporary rock world, blending romance, loss, and mythic descent with Demy's signature stylized fantasy.

Rock star Orpheus writes love songs for Eurydice, who designs his album covers. Torn between her and his sound engineer, Calaïs, he discovers Eurydice has died of an overdose. Desperate, he descends into the Underworld to bargain with Hades.
