    • Synopsis
    • Greek Goddess Aphrodite and her lover Scientio, illegitimate son of Athena, escape into the modern world after being imprisoned in the underworld for their extramarital affair. Fearing the wrath of Zeus, they hide on planet Earth as the guardians of love and science.

      Soon a quarrel erupts between them about the merits of technology. Aphrodite, Goddess of Love, insists it separates people from each other, while Scientio, God of Science, maintains that it’s a connecting force.

      Contravening a decree of Zeus, they decide to put this dispute to a test, choosing a human couple in their mid-30s, PHILIP and ZINYA, and a female truck driver that the couple doesn’t know, LOUISE, as their experimental subjects. If technology can create a stronger bond between Philip and the stranger Louise than he already has with his partner Zinya, Aphrodite will accept that technology is indeed the stronger connecting force and cede sovereignty over mankind to Scientio. If Aphrodite wins the wager, Scientio will serve humanity in the interest of love.

      But determined to win, Scientio enchants a cell phone to give it magical powers. Beyond the gods’ control, the phone develops its own personality and manipulates the outcome of the experiment, also informing Hermes, messenger and son of Zeus, who appears as a fellow truck driver in disguise, of the illicit wager and juvenile human fashion urges of the Gods.
