The movie
An anarchist and a hairdresser who have been killed in a hold-up remain witnesses to the living world and fall in love with each other. Then they are offered a second chance at life... Samir gives the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice a brilliant makeover, transposing it into a romantic action film of technical mastery and stylistic effects.
