Greece in the golden age, before the heroes, when the gods came down to Earth, coexisting with humans and other earthly creatures.
Hyacinthus, Prince of so-called Sparta, is the opposite of his brothers; he finds happiness in contemplation, not war. His immense beauty is mentioned in every Greek corner, to the point that even the gods are aware of his existence. Thus, several deities, including Zephyrus, Boreas, and Apollo, set their gaze on the young man, ready to immerse themselves in a competition to caress his heart. The God of the Sun, upon discovering that the King of Sparta is looking for a new master for Hyacinthus, does not hesitate and descends to Earth to meet him and give him the opportunity to love him in the way he already does. However, his goal will not only be this but also to teach the prince to look at the world from a broader perspective. Things will become more complicated when the gods of the winds enter the game, thus narrating the myth we all know in a more intimate and intrinsically beautiful way.
