Official synopsis

Ondina is a radiant, happy young woman. She lives with Alexia, they are in love. Their relationship is passionate and sensual. But one day, Alexia leaves without returning.

In partnership with

The programmer’s eye

Lora Mure-Ravaud stirs up a desire that melts into the rock, and travels between the characters’ gazes. Ondina loves Alexia with charisma, with mischief. “Euridice, Euridice” is cheeky because desire is expressed with humor, because its internal music is that of the myths that the director reinjects into love relationships, and distills into the skins of her actresses. The film unravels with the confidence of an already-mastered - as if relieved from something - gesture; it granulates bodies to extract a sensation, a dance out of them. I found my definition of lyricism in “Euridice, Euridice”.
