In 1977 aboard the Voyager space shuttle greetings in various languages
and selected pieces of music, including a performance by Bulgarian folklore
singer Valya Balkanska, were launched into deep space. I then started wondering what would happen, if a bunch of extraterrestrials came to Earth just to hear Valya Balkanska perform live. That was how the idea for this film originated.
With the tragic death of Andrzej Traczykowski, our friend and producer, it lost any sense. But then, amidst the hopelessness and the grief, a new idea emerged: the story of Orpheus, who descended into the Kingdom of hades to bring his dear Eurydice back to daylight again.
