In antique Rome, a simple pepboy for chars becomes involved in a coup against Cesar. Rahatlocum is a North African Roman colony where Julius Caesar came to spend an expensive holiday. The revolt rumbles among the small people who find a leader in the person of Ben-Hur Marcel.

VIBE

A chaotic, anachronistic romp through ancient Rome. Expect bizarre gags, historical liberties, and a relentless energy that feels like a fever dream. Perfect for when you want something utterly ridiculous and unexpectedly fun.
