Synopsis
In 213 BC, the brilliant inventor Archimedes faces a challenge: his clumsy servant, Lydia. As the Romans besiege Syracuse, the Greeks rely on Archimedes for salvation. Unbeknownst to all, it's Lydia who devises the ingenious solutions. Yet, in a world where slaves are overlooked, Archimedes receives all the acclaim. This tale highlights the unsung contributions of a young girl in a time of war.
