  • Log in or register to post comments

In a kingdom ravaged by tragedy and pain, a man desperately seeks to uncover the truth about his origin and his destiny. The story follows a king who, upon ascending to the throne of Thebes, faces an ominous threat: a deadly plague that strikes his people. Determined to save his city, he embarks on a revealing quest that will lead him to discover dark family secrets.

As he consults an oracle, the revelation of his past profoundly impacts him: he has fulfilled a prophecy that has led him to kill his own father and marry his mother, reflecting the cruel cycle of fate. With each new discovery, his world crumbles, and tensions escalate among the characters around him. As the complexities of identity and guilt unravel, the king confronts his own demons and the unexpected betrayal of those he trusted.

The drama unfolds with stunning visual aesthetics, reflecting the oppression and horror of his unavoidable fate. The story invites the viewer to explore universal themes such as fatality, identity, and the conflict between free will and destiny. In a heart-wrenching conclusion, the decisions and revelations culminate in an emotional confrontation, transforming this classic tale into an intense narrative that resonates through time.
