Au Ve siècle avant Jésus-Christ, Athènes est l'une des villes les plus riches du monde. Périclès, un célèbre dirigeant athénien, lance l'une des plus célèbres réalisations architecturales de tous les temps : les monuments de l'Acropole, dont le fameux Parthénon.
In this fascinating adventure, we see Pericles surrounded by the greatest figures of his time - Sophocles, Phidias, Thucydides, and Aspasia. We relive ambitious and aesthetic, but above all violent, times - and a turning point in the history of humanity. To tell the story of this unprecedented human adventure, the documentary combines interviews, 3D animations and fictional clips. It offers a journey between the current Acropolis and its past, between archaeologists' research and reconstructions.
