Last Night I Conquered the City of Thebes (Spanish: Anoche conquisté Tebas) is a 2025 drama film, written and directed by Gabriel Azorín.[1] Starring Santiago Mateus, Antonio Martim Gouveia, Oussama Asfaraah and Pavle Čemerikić.
The film had its world premiere at the Giornate degli Autori section of the 82nd Venice International Film Festival on 27 August 2025, where it was nominated for the Queer Lion.
An examination of emotional intimacy between men, the film is set in two distinct time periods at the Roman baths of Bande, Ourense, contrasting the story of António (Santiago Mateus) and Jota (António Martim Gouveia), two young men exploring the remains of the baths in the present day, with that of Aurelius (Oussama Asfaraah) and Pompey (Pavle Čemerikić), two ancient soldiers at the bath site during Roman times.[2]
