La nuit des orateurs

In first-century Rome, under the brutal reign of Emperor Domitian, Senator and advocate Publius Cornelius, known as Tacitus, witnesses the constant threat of tyranny. As those around him fall victim to the emperor's whims, he grapples with the question of what can be said or done. His wife, Lucretia, makes a desperate decision to appeal for clemency at the imperial palace, risking everything in a world where life is cheap.
