Perpetually haunted by the profound joy of art and creation, Jean Cocteau, as a white-haired 18th-century poet, makes a do-or-die effort to attain divinity and complete his journey of enlightenment. In his swan song, and the final part of The Orphic Trilogy–preceded by The Blood of a Poet (1932) and Orpheus (1950)–the troubled poet swings back and forth through time, blurring the boundaries of life and death, the present and the future. As mythological creatures, obsessions, and fantasies mingle without chronological order, cryptic symbolism–embodied by Yul Brynner, Pablo Picasso, Charles Aznavour, and Jean-Pierre Léaud–brings everything full circle, composing the testament of Orpheus, the poet.
