Middle-aged poet Orpheus witnesses the death of young rival Cegeste outside a regular cafe haunt. Orpheus and the dead man are spirited away by a princess, who claims to be death. Together with her chauffeur Heurtebise, she shepherds Cegeste towards the afterlife.

When Eurydice dies, Orpheus travels back to the Underworld to untangle his knotted emotions.
