On Palatine Hill

Mark, a struggling historian, gets a chance to lead a VIP tour on Palatine Hill. His attempt to impress them with a blend of dry facts and personal tragedies leads to an unexpected catharsis. In this 2025 drama-comedy, ancient ruins become a mirror for modern anxieties. The director explores the collision of high and low, past and present, painting a portrait of a man searching for meaning among historical debris. The film balances on the edge of absurdity and deep melancholy, offering the viewer a walk through a labyrinth of memory and irony.
