Elagabalus

Burdened by a prophecy that dooms them to a violent death, Elagabalus, a genderqueer Roman Emperor, embraces excess much to the dismay of their controlling mother. Elagabalus is enamored of a dashing charioteer. But as Elagabalus's habits grow increasingly sadistic, mother and lover must band together to fulfill destiny.
