公元4世纪，罗马帝国日渐衰落，在亚历山大港，多神教的智者希帕提娅（蕾切尔·薇姿 Rachel Weisz 饰）为弟子们授课。奥利斯蒂斯（奥斯卡·伊撒克 Oscar Isaac 饰）对她频频示爱，甚至在剧院大胆表白；奴隶达乌斯（麦克思·明格拉 Max Minghella 饰）也对她颇有好感，但因身份卑微无法启口。与此同时，基督教徒宣扬的自由，让达乌斯的信仰开始动摇，此举令他遭受鞭刑，是希帕提娅为他疗伤，抚慰了他的心灵。时局动荡，在多神教的挑动下发生暴乱，基督教转而取得优势，双方在亚历山大图书馆对峙。后来，接到了罗马统治者的号令，让多神教撤出图书馆，允许基督教徒进入，于是一场残酷的浩劫开始了…… 本片为第62届戛纳电影节的非竞赛展映片，取景地为马耳他的里卡所里堡，这里曾是《角斗士》和《特洛伊》拍摄地。希帕提娅原定由妮可·基德曼出演，但因其在《黄金罗盘》中饰演反派，遭到基督教徒反感，因此换角。。In this bitingly satirical film Peter Slovan, a continuous source of trouble for the film functionaries of the socialist Slovakia, tackles an evergreen topic – the corruptive effects of power. Barnabáš Kos, a triangle player at a symphonic orchestra, is suddenly promoted to serve as the head of the said institution, even though both he and his superiors deem him completely unfit for the task. Encouraged in equal parts by this unexpected recognition and the servile praise of his colleagues, Kos’s modesty starts to gradually vanish. The erstwhile bashful and aloof percussionist quickly becomes aware of the advantages of his new office, and begins to realise his increasingly ludicrous artistic ambitions. Ultimately, the submissive marionette turns into a source of public humiliation, and his astonishing career finds an abrupt end. Orchestra serves here as a microcosm that grotesquely reflects the absurd and tragicomic mechanisms of the paranoid apparatus of power.
