Sporus is a historical figure whose tragic story is to be made into a film. Sporus was a young man and catamite who lived in ancient Rome at the time of the Roman Emperor Nero. What makes Sporus so extraordinary is his special relationship with Nero. Sporus was made a castrato by Nero, which means that he no longer had physical male sexual organs (castration). Nero was fascinated by his beauty and grace and eventually married him. This relationship between a powerful emperor and a castrato caused a great stir in society at the time and was extremely unusual. The story of Sporus, later also called Sabina, is characterised by violence, love, loss and the constant pressure of public opinion. It is a story that shows that love knows no bounds, but also how cruel and ruthless society can be. The film adaptation of this tragic destiny promises to be a captivating and emotional journey into ancient Rome.

Sporus is a film based on a fascinating script that is currently in the exciting pre-production phase. The script tells a complex story that delves deep into the human psyche, touching on taboo subjects and philosophical questions.
