This is a cartoon made of collage of papers scrapped out of old newspapers paced by looped, languishing music. The movie itself is also a collage - of few stories, populated by paper people cut of old comic books. The stories are hard to identify sometimes as some of them lack even a single word. This is not a great surprise as they are all subsumed under the name of Blue Rose, a flower non existent in nature, therefore a sure sign of forgetfulness, since maybe even original memories never really came into being...
The longest story, and one with the clear story line here is the story of the sacrifice of Alcestis, spiced with occult elements of the story of Biblical Rachel, her Alcestis friend, desiring a semen from Apollo, a god synonymous with the Devil in the Book of Apocalypse. As we know, Alcestis decided to freely descended into the land of the dead in exchange for the life of her husband. Here, this dramatic decision is preceded by the debate with Hermes on the rules of human sacrifice which apparently cannot be paid, cannot be suicidal, and cannot be ill.
But don't worry - such both willing and beautiful sacrifice as Alcestis will be finally saved by Heracles, a demi-god who typically interferes into the matters of both gods and men. However, since Alcestis repeatedly refused to drink the water of Lethe, she will be the only one who shall not forget..! Therefore, the Blue Rose of Forgetfulness will not appear in her storyline.
