Barefoot in Athens

The film explores the final days of Socrates, culminating in his iconic trial, where he mounts a defense against charges of impiety and corrupting the young.

Socrates, a nonconformist philosopher, teaches his students without pay despite his wife's objections. He's accused of heresy and treason by Athenian leaders, but his trial is suspended when the Peloponnesian War ends and Athens is occupied by Sparta.
