[[caption-width-right:200:[[ArcWords Golden boy, golden boy, where have you been?]]]]
A character [[NoNameGiven referred to only as]] "The Silver Girl" wanders through a grey afterlife followed by her invisible lover ("The Golden Boy") and accompanied by something which may or may not be an angel.

This 2014 film is a surrealist retelling of the myth of Orpheus and Eurydice, often eschewing such banalities as plot, setting, [[NamelessNarrative names]], and basic coherency, in favor of characterization and study of the complex relationships between the three main characters.

!! Eagles, Gathered contains examples of:
* AGoodWayToDie: [[spoiler:Silver even says the words.]]
* AmbiguousEnding: [[spoiler:Did Silver come back to life when she died, or is dying a second time worse than the first? Was Gold missing because she successfully rescued him, or because he was never there at all?]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: Bob -- was he really trying to help Silver, or did he deliberately work to guarantee her fate? Or is he simply a neutral agent of death?
* ArcWords: "Golden boy, golden boy, where have you been?"
* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Silver doesn't manage to avoid her own death, but she does go to it willingly.]]
* DeadToBeginWith: All human characters, since the film is set in the afterlife.
* MagicCountdown: Justified; time passes differently in the underworld. (The count even moves ''up'' a couple of times.)
* MindScrew: Oh so very much so. [[InsaneTrollLogic Your earth logic]] does not apply in the underworld.
* NamelessNarrative: Or nearly so, Bob being the obvious exception.
* NoNameGiven: Nearly all characters.
* NoRomanticResolution: Were Gold and Silver ever in love? Are they still? [[spoiler:Did Gold even exist? Did he and Silver end up in the same place?]] Who knows?
* SilenceYouFool: Silver tries it. Turns out, the underworld tends to take that sort of thing literally. It takes them a while to get sound working again.
* TakeOurWordForIt: Heavily used, especially for the Plane (when they're not using forced perspective), but most famously for the Bush.
* WithAFriendAndAStranger: Silver is trying to rescue her friend and lover Gold from the underworld, and is joined on the way by Bob the (maybe) angel.
