Synopsis
Let’s go back in time…

Every city has a history that distinguishes it from everywhere else in the world. Through hundreds of years of transformation, there is a particular period, a specific year that defines each town, every historical building and its population.

This format picks a moment in time, an iconic year in the history of a city, where fourteen contestants from the present world will live, breath and compete to learn the ways of the past, for ten weeks. They will be cooking, working and generally surviving in an environment which replicates every aspect of the time, from trading food to paving their own roads.

The goal is to pass tasks to break free from poverty and rise to wealth and fortune. At the end of the week there is an exhilarating duel and the loser will return to the real world.

Who will make the right choices and understand the city codes founded in a distant time? This epic social experiment goes back to when craft and trade were essential and city life was just beginning.
