Agora (2009)
Alessandria d'Egitto. Seconda metà del IV secolo dopo Cristo. La città in cui convivono cristiani, pagani ed ebrei è anche un vivo centro di ricerca scientifica. Vi spicca, per acume e spirito di indagine, la giovane Ipazia, figlia del filosofo e geometra Teone. Ipazia tiene anche una scuola in cui l'allievo Oreste cerca di attirare la sua attenzione. C'è però anche un giovane schiavo, Davus, attratto dalla sua bellezza e dalla sua cultura. Col trascorrere degli anni la tensione tra gli aderenti alle diverse religioni diviene sempre più palese e finisce col divampare vedendo il prevalere dei cristiani i quali godono ormai della compiacenza di Roma (anche se non di quella di Oreste divenuto prefetto). Guidati dal vescovo Cirillo e avvalendosi del braccio armato costituito dai fanatici monaci parabalani, i cristiani riescono ad annullare la presenza delle altre forme di religione e intendono regolare i conti con il pensiero che oggi definiremmo 'laico' di Ipazia.
