A video recording from spring, 2011 in Nashik, India: A girl is playing with her brother in the holy waters of the Godavari River. They are playing very differently, the boy and the girl. And then a clash with totally different sounds and images: Orpheus and Heurtebise are crossing Hades in Jean Cocteau‘s ORPHEE from 1949. Using various cinematic maneuvers, the children seem to respond to the film takes.
