Story: One of cinemas great experiments, this first installment of the Orphic Trilogy stretches the medium to its limits in an effort to capture the poets obsession with the struggle between the forces of life and death.

A young artist draws a face at a canvas on his easel. Suddenly the mouth on the drawing comes into life and starts talking. The artist tries to wipe it away with his hand, but when he looks into the hand he finds the living mouth on his palm. He tries to wipe it off on the mouth of an unfinished statue of a young woman. The statue comes into life and tells him that the only way out of the studio is through the looking glass. The artist jumps into the mirror and comes to the Hotel of Dramatic Lunacies. He peeps through the keyholes of a series of hotel rooms. In the last room he sees desperate meetings of hermaphrodites. One of them has a signboard saying "Mortal danger". Back in the studio the artist crushes the statue with a sledgehammer. Because of this he himself becomes a statue, located at the side of a square. Some schoolboys start a snowball fight around the statue. One of the boys is killed by a snowball. A fashionable couple start playing cards at a table beside the corpse. The woman tells the man that unless he holds the ace of hearts he is doomed. The man takes the ace of hearts from the dead boy. The childs guardian, a black angel, appears and takes away the corpse as well as the card. Losing the ace of hearts the man shoots himself. The woman is transformed into the unfinished statue from the studio, and walks away.

Divided into four segments, s "The Blood of a Poet", the first part of the Orphic Trilogy, is an imaginative collection of oneiric sequences; an all-out assault on the senses. Struggling to put his thoughts on canvas and paint the ideal portrait of a woman, instead, a bare-chested artist ends up with a deep, unheard-of laceration. Then, as if in a trance, the dark-eyed painter embraces the eerie guidance of a disembodied voice and finds himself stranded in the labyrinthine corridors of a hotel, where glimpses of bizarre sights can only spell trouble--and death. Next, a kids snowball fight has tragic results--and for the grand finale--decay, deceit, and a strange card game provoke divine intervention and angelic visitation.
