Romulus

A journey through history, legend and revolution, Romulus is set in the eighth century BC, along the banks of the Tiber, where a primitive and brutal world exists and a man's fate is decided by the merciless power of nature and the gods. Filmed in archaic Latin, ROMULUS is the story of this world as seen through the eyes of three people marked by death, loneliness and violence: Iemos, Wiros and the young vestal Ilia. As these men and women learn how to shape their own destinies instead of passively suffering the whims of fate, a ferocious and protective female figure leads the formation of a new society – laying the foundations for one of the greatest Empires ever. Romulus is the epic tale of the origin of Rome, like it has never been told before. (HBO Europe)
