Quo vadis

Set in Ancient Rome during the reign of Emperor Nero, the story follows Vinicius, a young patrician, who becomes enamored with Lygia, a beautiful woman and the daughter of a slain Barbarian commander. Vinicius desires her as his concubine, but for Lygia, a Christian, becoming a pagan's concubine is a grave sin and a source of deep shame. Despite this, when Vinicius is injured, Lygia tends to his wounds and gradually begins to return his affection. In turn, Vinicius takes an interest in Christian teachings and seeks instruction from Apostle Peter. Meanwhile, Emperor Nero, blaming Christians for a devastating fire in Rome, initiates a campaign of imprisonment, torture, and execution against his Christian subjects.
