Megalopolis

In a sleek, neon‑lit metropolis that reimagines America as the towering citadel of New Rome, technology and ambition clash with ancient echoes of empire. The city’s glittering skyline is a stage for bold ideas and ruthless power, its streets humming with the promise of a future that could either uplift or submerge its inhabitants. A pervasive sense of grandeur is tempered by an undercurrent of inequality, giving the world a glossy veneer that masks deeper fissures.

At the heart of this tension stands Cesar Catilina, an architect whose visionary designs aim to reshape the city into a utopian expanse. His brilliance is matched only by his enigmatic aura, and his relentless pursuit of a new urban ideal draws both awe and suspicion. Opposing him is Franklyn Cicero, the charismatic mayor who wields the machinery of government to preserve a status quo built on wealth and control. Their conflict is more than a personal rivalry; it is a clash of philosophies—one that frames the very destiny of New Rome.

Caught between these opposing forces is Julia Cicero, the mayor’s daughter, who navigates the privileged circles of high society while quietly questioning the moral cost of her father’s rule. Her curiosity and growing disquiet make her a bridge between the two worlds, hinting at a possible alliance that could tip the balance. Around them, a cast of supporters, aides, and observers—each with their own stakes—adds layers of intrigue to a story where art, power, and hope pulse in tandem. The film’s tone blends futuristic spectacle with intimate drama, inviting viewers to wonder whether a single vision can truly transform a city—or whether the weight of history will keep it forever in flux.
