Cesare deve morire

Mar 2 2012 Unrated 1h 17m
Drama

Inmates at a prison in Rome rehearse for a performance of Shakespeare's Julius Caesar.

Plot

In Rebibbia Prison in Italy, its inmate theatre program puts on a well received production of William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar. The film goes back several months earlier as the coordinators announces the play as the program's production of the year. With that project set, we see its creation as the cast is auditioned and selected for this artistic challenge. As they rehearse, the prisoners, many of whom are long termers and lifers for serious crimes, find that the classic play has both a striking resonance and contrast to their confined lives.
