«Έρωτας ονομάζεται… κάψιμο στην καρδούλα,
που πέφτει απά στα ζωντανά και τους αλλάζει μοίρα.
Είναι στα μάτια ένα φώς...χαμόγελο στα χείλη...
Κι όποιος τον νιώθει είναι Θεός,κι όποιος τον χάνει ξένος,
Μα κι όποιος δεν τον έζησε, φεύγει απ’τη Γής χαμένος»
Metrical text, musical atmospheres and original songs, humor and minimalistic images, compose the kanvas of a story of love, whereby the eternal archetypes of Love, Death, Faith and Hope set up their mysterious dance.
