SYNOPSIS

In this mythical short film, a god of the underworld has isolated himself away from the world, trying to banish the memory of a lost love. Depressed, angry and vengeful at the world above he tries to silence the melody he hears on loop. The melody is a painful reminder of what could have been, another life that he dreamed for himself and his old love long ago. Unable to escape the melody, he must come to terms with the past in order to move on.
