In 73 BC, the decision to start a relationship leads Fabia, the most beautiful and sweetest of the Vestal Virgins, to a high risk. She is accused of having broken her vows of chastity and if she is found guilty, the sentence will be a cruel death, being buried alive. No matter what would be the truth or the outcome of the trial, in the circular temple, the sacred fire of Vesta will continue burning with its eternal flame.
