Caligula et al. is a story of a Roman emperor who dreams of the impossible becoming possible; who dreams of catching the Moon between his palms and of ceasing to see himself in the mirror. It seems that no dream is too big for the ruler of the whole world as the Moon soon lands into his hands and the mirror shows the reflection of someone else. The impossible becomes possible. Hail, Caesar! – Yet the reflection suddenly steps out of the mirror and heads towards Caligula. The Moon in his hands is no longer white and transparent but bloody and vengeful.
