A reanimated Roman soldier, Valerius, finds himself in a ruined world centuries after his time. Unable to connect with modern society, he retreats into isolation until he meets Isabell, who tries to show him the beauty of the rebuilt Rome. Despite her efforts, Valerius remains haunted by the past and sets off to explore humanity's progress before his inevitable demise. This poignant tale mirrors themes from "Frankenstein" and delves into the posthuman experience, the last remnants of a bygone era, and the intersection of race and politics.
