Megalopolis (2024) (original) (raw)

Megalopolis is a Roman Epic fable set in an imagined Modern America.
The City of New Rome must change, causing conflict between Cesar Catilina, a genius artist who seeks to leap into a utopian, idealistic future, and his opposition, Mayor Franklyn Cicero, who remains committed to a regressive status quo, perpetuating greed, special interests, and partisan warfare. Torn between them is socialite Julia Cicero, the mayor�s daughter, whose love for Cesar has divided her loyalties, forcing her to discover what she truly believes humanity deserves.
