Synopsis of The Return

Odysseus, played by Fiennes, arrives on the shores of his home island, Ithaca, after twenty years of fighting in the Trojan War and finding his way back. The war has left him deeply changed, and he looks very different from the strong king who had left two decades earlier.

His wife Penelope, portrayed by Binoche, is now trapped in her own home, harassed by many men who want her to choose a new husband who can take over as king. Meanwhile, Odysseus and Penelope’s son Telemachus, played by Plummer, is in danger of being killed by those who see him as a threat to their ambitions. To save his family and reclaim what he has lost, Odysseus must confront his past.
