The Romance Of Astrea And Celadon (Les Amours D'Astree Et De Celadon)
Cert: 12A
Description: Celadon and his sweetheart, the shepherdess Astrea, are madly in love. A misunderstanding leads Astrea to conclude that her beloved Celadon has been unfaithful. Unraged, she banishes him forever from her sight and thus he flings himself into a river rather than suffer the heartbreak. Water nymph Galathee rescues Celadon from an early grave and spirits him away, smitten as she is with the shepherd while Astrea and Celadon's brother Lycidas mourn the man they believe to have drowned. Thankfully, kind druid Adamas persuades Celadon to return to Astrea in the guise of a woman to prove his love to her.
