En Corée du Sud, le ferry Sewol sombra le 16 Avril 2014 avec 476 passagers à son bord. La majorité des passagers furent pris au piège en respectant l'ordre du capitaine : "Restez dans vos cabines". Quelques minutes plus tard, le capitaine fuyait le ferry à bord d'un canot de sauvetage. Le bilan fût de 304 morts noyés, dont 250 étudiants du lycée Danwon qui était en voyage scolaire vers l'île Jeju. Bien que neuf corps soient encore dans le ferry, le gouvernement coréen à repousser toutes opérations indéfiniment. Le gouvernement de PARK Geun-Hye refusa de reconnaître sa responsabilité dans ce désastre, notamment au niveau des opérations de sauvetages. Certaines familles de victime vont jusqu'à affirmer que le gouvernement a sacrifié les passagers plutôt que de réellement les sauver.

Le documentaire relate la vie à Pompéi et Herculanum dans les vingt-quatre heures qui précèdent leur destruction, imaginant la vie de plusieurs de leurs habitants. À l'exception de Pline l'Ancien et son neveu Pline le Jeune, les personnages mis en scènes sont fictifs, mais correspondent aux restes et traces découverts sur les sites archéologiques. Le film montre en particulier la nature et l'impact des phases successives de l'éruption du Vésuve, reconstituée en images de synthèse, en conformité avec les connaissances volcanologiques d'aujourd'hui, qui confirment la fiabilité du témoignage antique de Pline le Jeune.
