Orphe is a present-day tale based on an early legend about the Greek demigod Orpheus: part creation myth, part relentless pursuit, part erotic adventure. It takes place across two continents and along two rivers, the Usumacinta between Mexico and Guatemala, and the Amazon from Peru to Brazil. It is an Oedipal love story, and a story of vengeance, with a mysteriously beautiful woman at its center and two men, one older and one younger, who attempt to possess her.
