Synopsis
A grotesque drama about the last days of the ancient philosopher Lucius Annaeus Seneca and the beginnings of Emperor Nero’s despotic regime in ancient Rome. Nero uses every means at his disposal to defend his claim of sovereignty, including a foiled attack on his own life to falsely accuse Seneca of being an accomplice and then issuing a death sentence stating that the philosopher must be dead by morning, Seneca accepts his fate, but only after offering a final lesson of his philosophy of life to his followers in order to cement his place in the eternal writing of history.
