Storyline
| Plot Summary |
"And? What comes next?" "It's lost. We'll never know." "Perhaps we should decide for ourselves" Sappho is a provocative and passionate love story set in the 1920s. Millionaire's daughter Sappho Lovell arrives on the Greek island of Lesbos for her honeymoon with her artist husband Phil. There she meets Helene, the daughter of a Russian archaeologist, and she falls in love with her. As our three lovers live out a complex girl-boy-girl sexual triangle, Sappho also comes to believe that she is the reincarnation of the ancient poetess Sappho - that Sappho who first put the "lesbian" in Lesbos. However, our modern Sappho does realize how the ancient Sappho's legend ends... Inspired by the poems of Sappho Written by Robert Crombie |

| Quotes |
Sappho:
You can marry Helene. You can have her if you like. Phil: I'm not a Turk. I can't have two wives. It's in the rules. Sappho: Don't be so boring, Phil. There are no rules in this game. There's nothing we can imagine that's not allowed. What's love is love. Phil: Well, what's loyalty is that too. Don't you care if I sleep with other women now? Sappho: You can sleep with other boys too if you like. [to Helene] Sappho: Will you marry my husband? Helene: Yes. Sappho: Then it's perfect. It's all that simple. We can all be married to one another. See more » |
