The Return

Following introductory on-screen words about himself and the Trojan War, Odysseus washes up naked on the shores of his home island Ithaca after twenty years fighting in and returning from the War. Scarred mentally and physically by his experiences, he is unrecognizable from the mighty warrior-king that left decades before. His wife Penelope is now a prisoner in her own palace, hounded by many suitors to choose a new husband that would take the throne. Odysseus and Penelope's son Telemachus is facing death at the hands of those who see him as a threat to their ambitions. Odysseus is forced to face his past in order to save his family and win back that which he has lost.
