The film is a romantic love vision. The story of drifting power of the passionate, unfulfilled love of Lónyay Erzsébet (Psyché) and Ungvárnémeti Tóth László (Nárcisz) and the loving-suffering-giving-demolishing third one (baron Zedlitz), of search of an ego, and revolting stretches over some hundred years of a decisive historical era (1813-1914), while the main characters do not get older at all. Bódy Gábor interprets the mythological theme with special dramaturgy, embedded in a strange visual world. The images created by experimental means hold a message on the struggle of History and Spirit and the secrets of Love using the language of vision. (official distributor synopsis)
