One year after the underwater excavation at the site of the Lighthouse of Alexandria, the Egyptian city is the scene of another major archaeological discovery: Jean-Yves Empereur and his team find remains of the Necropolis, or "city of the dead." This documentary, constructed like an adventure film and shot in extraordinary locations, follows the unpredictable developments of the research work, and testifies to the problems faced by archaeologists and their constant fear of interruption.
