Film Overview

When his wife Eurydice dies, Orpheus descends into Hell and by charming the gods of the Underworld with his singing, wins Eurydice back, only to lose her again at the threshold of the Overworld. This is an animated retelling of the Orpheus and Eurydice myth in the style of a Greek vase.
