A modern version of Orpheus and Eurydice. A romance in extremes set at a dystopian future by the acclaimed Greek director Dimitri Athanitis. Provocative, already a cult film. After being released from prison, Eurydice gets a job as a waitress but also as a naked model for a mysterious photographer who blackmails her. Orpheus, a cashier at a super market meets her by chance and falls for her at once. When he loses her, he shall travel all the way to hell, to get her back. Dimitri Athanitis's take on the "Orpheus and Eurydice" myth is stylish and sexy. Lena Kitsipoulou is totally magnetic for her fellow characters and the viewer.
