Nova Roma
Nova Roma is an alternate history sci-fi short directed by Aydan Woodward. It is one of the only indie films on the internet in a dead language: the film is almost completely in Latin (although Old Germanic is also used briefly).
Plot
The first scene, recorded with a handheld camera, shows an interrogation in a detention centre in the Confederation of Germania. A couple of Germanic soldiers have somehow captured a Roman border agent (a Limitanei) named Quintus Valerius Triarius, and start asking him questions about his highly secretive country: the Roman Empire.
