2. Nero, A Véres Költő
A haunting, impressionistic portrait of an imperial artist whose hunger for applause and aesthetic perfection warps into cruelty and megalomania; the narrative follows the rise and fall of a charismatic ruler who treats life as a stage, blending poetic sensitivity and theatrical obsession with violence, betrayal and paranoia, until personal vanities and moral decay lead to isolation and ruin against the ruinous spectacle of a collapsing world.
