以类似帕索里尼“生命三部曲”的方式对奥维德同名叙事诗作新解，将希腊文明移植到法国当前，分三章节展开高中女孩与三位神灵的接触，听取或目睹人神相恋的古代神话，戏中戏流畅松散地插入支线，以魔幻现实手法在自然场景中以大量裸露镜头捕捉人神的动物直觉，强调人类永恒变化的本性。
When Europe skips class to climb aboard an eight-wheel truck with a magnetic young man named Jupiter, little does she know of the journey of initiation that lies ahead of her. "As a child, I experienced the pleasure of fiction thanks to my elder brother who would read Ovid"s Metamorphoses to me in secret. I can still see us in that room we shared, him sitting cross-legged with the hefty volume on his lap, holding on to it for dear life with both hands for fear it might slip, while I took charge of the lighting, focusing on the pages the yellow beam of a flash lamp whose battery would inevitably die. [...] After eight feature films, I felt that the time had come to reimmerse myself in the vivid, timeless writing of Ovid. At a time in which the very mention of Greece immediately conjures up "Greek debt", I felt it was urgent to remind ourselves of "Greek heritage"." [Christophe Honoré]
