Fullplot:

In an enchanted forest, back in the time of the Druids, the shepherd Cèladon and the shepherdess Astrèe share a pure and chaste love. Fooled by a suitor, Astrèe dismisses Cèladon, who throws himself into a river out of despair. She thinks he's dead, but he's been secretly rescued by some nymphs. Faithful to the promise he made to Astrèe to never appear before her again, Cèladon must overcome many obstacles to break the curse. Mad with love and despair, coveted by the nymphs, surrounded by rivals, and obliged to disguise himself as a woman to be near the one he loves, will he manage to make himself known without breaking his oath? A romance filled with doubt, hazards, and delicious temptations.
