Thermae Romae
Lucius Modestus is a Roman architect struggling to find work because he's burned out—he just can't come up with anything new anymore. Worried about him, his friends drag him to a bathhouse hoping he'll finally relax. But the place is packed and chaotic, so Lucius dunks his head underwater to escape. That's when things get weird: he discovers a hidden tunnel that leads him straight into a modern Japanese bathhouse. Suddenly inspired, Lucius returns to Rome and tries recreating what he saw. The problem is, he doesn't have access to modern materials or tools, so his builds come out rough and crude compared to what he experienced. Still, there's something genuinely clever about what he's putting together—clever enough that people start noticing. Maybe this is exactly what he needs to rebuild his reputation.
