寻找爱情的下落 (豆瓣)
What it’s about (English)
Vom Suchen und Finden der Liebe (About the Looking for and the Finding of Love, 2005) is a German romantic drama/musical, loosely based on the Greek myth of Orpheus and Eurydice.
• Mimi (Moritz Bleibtreu): a passionate composer
• Venus (Alexandra Maria Lara): a struggling singer
They fall madly in love, make music together, and marry—but after 7 years, endless fighting tears them apart.
Mimi is devastated, retreats to a Greek island, and takes his own life. He ends up in the mythic Underworld, guided by a quirky, gender‑fluid Hermes.
Venus moves on with a new partner but realizes she still loves Mimi. She decides to descend into the Underworld to bring him back—just like Orpheus did for Eurydice.
It’s a story of love, loss, regret, and love that defies death.
