Alkibiades - Zuidpool

Are we aware of the vulnerability of our democracies? In a far-reaching adaptation of Ilja Leonard Pfeijffers monumental novel, Zuidpool brings the story of Alcibiades. None other than top actress Sofie Decleir gives shape to Greece's most controversial politician, unable to choose between his boundless self-love and the general interest of his people. At the same time, he holds up a confronting mirror to us. Is the people themselves capable of knowing what is good for the people? And how important do we still find the truth, when probability is more desirable? A gripping story in a world in which the democratic contract that we have concluded with each other threatens to be broken at any moment. A look into a system that hits its limits, but for which there is apparently no better alternative.
