Olivia Fougeirol plays Echo, I think. Other characters are an old man who emerges from a pool wearing a loin cloth and a bunch of grapes on a string around his neck, a horned man who speaks in a backwards gibberish and ants come out of his mouth and nose, a naked bearded man standing underneath a tree, other nymph-type friends of Echo in their white gowns, and Keanu Reeves' character - who stands on the top of a hill or by a pool looking curious, or pensive, or just very attractive. Maybe he is Narcissus. He wears a sarong.

So, black and white, about 13 minutes, edited in a naive 1980s picture in picture used in children's tv shows type of way, and with only exaggerated sound effects and no dialogue. It flashes between narrative bits and abstract emotive/expression scenes, ants crawling around, and shots of landscape. Much of the movement seems disjointed and played backwards to give more surreal feeling.

I know the story of Echo and Narcissus vaguely but this doesn't seem to fit really, although Echo left her friends and went off on her own. Then was chastised. I think.

I don't know.

As a piece of art it has much to recommend it. I'd feel a lot better if I knew what was going on and what it all meant.
