A visually monumental expressionist allegory about class division and spiritual mediation, built on grand philosophical themes and architectural spectacle rather than intimate character work.

In a futuristic city sharply divided between the rich and the poor, the son of the city's mastermind meets a prophet who predicts the coming of a savior to mediate their differences.
