It is a real wolf in sheep's clothing who upsets Eurydice. Pluton, the god of the underworld, enters her life in the form of the charmingly modest and nature-loving Monsieur Aristée, and suddenly everything changes: full of longing and a thirst for adventure, she swaps her unfulfilled existence at the side of her Orpheus, a violin virtuoso who is as brilliant as he is vain, for the erotic temptations of Pluton's shadowy realm. A twist of fate that Orpheus, though thoroughly jealous, by no means wants to stand in the way of. On the contrary: Eurydice's lustful escape into the realm of death cannot go fast enough for him. And so he actually wants nothing less than to win back his dissolute wife.
