attention to me?

I have no time now

I'm sorry. He already

saw you. He and the sun

Look at Serafina.

She is the Queen of Night

Look how happy she is

- And who is she?

- Her?

That's Mira. She plays

the Queen of Day

- She is pretty, isn't she?

- Yes

She is Orpheus' fiance

Look, he's going to kiss her

- OK, that's enough!

- What's so funny?

- Nothing! That's enough!

- Why didn't you kiss me?

Leave me alone. Have you tried

on your costumes?

Of course! Mira's costume

is a beauty, isn't it?

It has embroidered sleeves.

Let's go see it

Come and dance, Eurydice, come

Come on!

- And who is that?

- Ask Orpheus!

- I want a costume for her, OK?

- OK, all right

When it comes to women,

nobody is better than you!

Leave me alone!

She is pretty! Hot girl

- Isn't she better than Mira?

- Much better! A real beauty!

- She has good taste.

- Drop it!

- So what? So what?

- Where is the costume?

That's all we have. A woman

like this doesn't need costumes

- Hold on, let me look next door.

- No

- That's right, you're with Mira.

- Why are you talking about her?

It's nothing... nothing

You don't waste any time,

do you?

Shall I introduce my cousin?

Be good now. Take care of her.

I want a pretty costume for her

- Oh, you!

- Seriously

You don't even know her!

Yes, I do

Look at me

Look at me!

Oh, boy!

Don't make faces! This is not

tragic. I'll take care of it

People, leave the girl alone!

I'll take care of her!

- I will help!

- It's high time!

Don't just stand there!

Move! Go!

Quickly, quickly!

I'll take care of her

- Orpheus, is Eurydice here?

- Yes. Why?

- Eurydice, someone's

looking for you! - Who?

- A man.

- Who is he?

I don't know.

He's not from around here

- Who is it?

- Don't be afraid

Tell him she's left.

She's gone

What are you waiting for?

No!

No!

Calm down. Calm down!

Calm down! There's nothing

to be afraid of!

Take care of her!

What happened?

- Eurydice! She got scared!

- Eurydice? - My cousin

- Her name is Eurydice?

- She has the right

Orpheus!

What happened, Benedito?

I tried to catch him, but

he threw me on the ground

- Where did he go?

- I don't know. That way

That's impossible!

There is a cliff there!

- The man fled that way.

- That way?

What's wrong with him?

- Take care of him.

- Orpheus! What happened?

Who is this Eurydice woman?

Are you sleeping with her?

- No! Let me go!

- Stay here!

No!

If you go...

So, you chased him away?

Eurydice!

Is that you? Serafina!

Answer me!

Eurydice!

Where are you?

Idiot! You scared me!

You're the one hiding,

and I scared you?

- Where is my cousin?

- Your cousin?

- Yes, my cousin!
