Two brothers: Eteocles and Polynices, sons of Oedipus.
Two brothers, facing each other, clash where Tyche and free will have led them.
They clash for power, for primacy, for a question of Justice and Right.
They clash by provoking a war, but what might seem a simple family matter is instead the trigger of a bomb ready to blow up an entire city, razing it to the ground, annihilating its population.
War is upon us, zero hour has arrived: Eteocles prepares to defend the city, Polynices to attack it.

A seven-hour encounter/clash, an embrace that becomes a vice.
It seems impossible to reach an agreement: the agreement was there and has been broken.
Oaths are sacred and so are pacts.
Seven hours to reach the Seventh Gate.
Seven hours to find each other.
Seven hours to lose each other.
