Agora Movie Story
In the 4th century AD, astronomer and philosopher Hypatia (Rachel Weisz) is instructing her class of boys in scientific thought, including the infatuated slave Davus (Max Minghella), the equally infatuated Orestes (Oscar Isaac), and the young Christian Synesius (Rupert Evans). Hypatia rejects all of her advances, but this romantic drama soon pales in comparison to the conflict between Christians and pagans raging on the streets of war-torn Alexandria.
