The truth about Orpheus

/Documentary with renditions and animation/


The film tells the story about the most famous singer of the Antiquity - Orpheus and it gives the answers to the questions: Who is Orpheus? Where did he live? And when? Who taught him? And why was he killed?

The authors prove the thesis that Orpheus is not only a great musician but also a teacher. A teacher that has chosen few, to whom he had handed down with words his knowledge but his songs exalted everyone. Something more. His music vibrated in the souls of the animals, in the rocks and in the trees. As he is a real Enlightener Orpheus came to this world to take care not only for us - the people but for all the creatures preparing our souls for their big journey. The journey to immortality.

The film was shot in India, Egypt, Turkey, Greece, Italy, Switzerland, Germany and Bulgaria. It presents numerous of archaeological objects and artifacts, proving that at the basis of the European civilization stand not only the worth of the Hellenistic Greece and Christian religion but also the Thracian culture.

Prominent Tracology, Archaeology, History, Anthropology, Culture and Philosophy scientists speak in the film.

Beside this, over 10 minute drawn animation represents the myths for Orpheus. And the scenes with actors, forming 15% of the film time, were shot among unique natural and archaeological sites on the Balkans.
