A bleak, allegorical drama rooted in classical tragedy that uses the image of unburied corpses to indict fascist state repression and explore the moral duty to resist dehumanizing authority.

On the streets of a damp metropolis lie the corpses of hundreds and hundreds of boys and girls. No one can give them a resting place because of a law enacted by a repressive State. But the young Antigone, with the help of a foreigner, Tiresias, violates this rule in the name of pietas, undermining the established order.
