Pendant le chaos vibrant du Carnaval de Rio, les jeunes amants Orfeu et Eurydice tentent d'échapper à un tueur à gages déguisé en la Mort et à la fiancée jalouse d'Orfeu. Ce drame romantique revisite un mythe grec classique avec une bande-son bossa nova, mélangeant fantaisie et réalité.

Reviewer notes
