A Neapolitan theatre company decides to stage in Sarajevo, at the time of the siege, an Eschilo’s comedy, Seven against Thebes. So they rehearse in the Spanish neighborhood of Naples, among problems and defections. Jasmin, who is the Bosnian reference for the company, will die during a bombardment and the comedy will never be put on stage. After the participation at the Certain Regard of Cannes Film Festival, it won two David di Donatello awards, one for the actress Anna Bonaiuto and one for the editor Jacopo Quadri. It has been filmed in 16 millimetres but enlarged to 35 millimetres for the theatres.
