Ancient Rome is interpreted through the unique literary lens of MARI YAMAZAKI, whose manga inspired this live action adaptation from Hideki Takeuchi. The architect Lucius (Japanese Academy Award-Winner for Best Actor Hiroshi Abe) strives to create the ultimate public bathhouses for the city and does so by unknowingly traveling through time-to modern day Japan-to accomplish his goals.
Presented in Japanese with English subtitles.
