Quo Vadis moves through grandeur and danger—court intrigue, exile-like longing, faith under pressure, and moments of intimate human resolve. This playlist alternates cinematic instrumental drama with restrained, story-anchored vocal songs to mirror Rome’s public spectacle and the characters’ private reckonings.
