An epic retelling of the Greek myth of Odysseus. These screenings include a Q&A with Ralph Fiennes and Uberto Pasolini after the film, which was recorded during a live event at the British Museum.

After 20 years away, many years after the end of the Trojan War, Odysseus washes up on the shores of Ithaca, haggard and unrecognisable. The King has returned home but much has changed in his kingdom since he left to fight in the Trojan war. His beloved wife Penelope is a prisoner in her own home, hounded by her many ambitious suitors to choose a new husband, a new king. Their son Telemachus, who has grown up fatherless, is facing death at the hands of the suitors who see him as an obstacle in their relentless pursuit of Penelope and the kingdom. Odysseus has changed too. Scarred by his experience of war, he is no longer the mighty warrior his people remember. But he is forced to face his past in order to rediscover the strength needed to save his family and win back the love he has lost.

Historical drama based on Homer's epic poem, directed by Uberto Pasolini and starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche, Charlie Plummer and Marwan Kenzari.
