A town devastated by an earthquake is the set chosen by a troupe to shoot a film about Greek statesman Pericles and his “Epitaph”; a manifesto about the concept of democracy. However, a bureaucratic fate decides otherwise and the town square must be defended. A story about uncivil coexistence, about the primacy of the image and about a bunch of ruins that, by becoming a symbol, remain ruins.
