A 2000-year-old graffiti artist knew modern slang. Your move, historians.
Florence, a teacher and researcher, uncovers with astonishment an anachronistic engraving - in modern French - on a Gallo-Roman fresco she just digged up. When she realizes this engraving is really from Antiquity, her rationality is put to the test.
Acting
Aurélia Petit's slow unraveling is deliciously committed.
Writing
The premise commits harder than it needs to. Respect.
Director
Giulio Callegari
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The fresco was created specifically for the film by a Roman history consultant who apparently found the premise 'mildly offensive.'
The 19-minute runtime is deliberate—Callegari wanted the exact length of a standard academic conference presentation, complete with the slow dread of realizing your research is nonsense.
