Description
Ancient Sicily is a place of contrasts, where the defeated Athenians cling to life amidst the baking heat. It's here that two unlikely friends, Gelon and Lampo, hatch a plan to bring poetry and theatre to their prison. With scraps of food and goatskins of wine, they recite lines from Greek tragedy, finding solace in the art that unites them. As their idea takes shape, they must confront the very worst and the very best of human nature. Will their audacious plan succeed, or will it lead to disaster?
