Synopsis:

A group of actors meet with little money in a unofficial theatre in Naples' Spanish Boroughs. Director's plan is to travel to Sarajevo, still under siege, to stage a classic Eschilus' play about civil war in Tebe. While they rehearse in the theatre cast members come and go and another kind of war goes on every day in nearby streets of old Naples.

Set in 1994 Martone follows a young actor and director who begins to rehearse a play that is to be staged in Sarajevo. The play they choose, Aeschylus's 'Seven Against Thebes', deals with a siege and civil war. Using this as a starting point, the film is an intelligent and a genuine attempt by the director to respond in a meaningful way to the madness of Yugoslavia.
