It's the dead, not the living

That we must obey

In a war-torn land, a young woman takes a stand against her city.

Antigone's parents are gone.  Her two brothers have destroyed each other in battle.   One of them had been branded a traitor - so now anyone caught burying his body will be punished with death.

But Antigone cannot desert that duty to her family.  As defiance and division mount, surely more bodies will fall to the ground…
