Directed by Uberto Pasolini, The Return portrays a classic tale of a soldier’s return from war. After 20 years away, Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) washes up on the shores of Ithaca, haggard and unrecognizable. The King has returned from the Trojan War, but much has changed in his kingdom.

His beloved wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) is a prisoner in her own home, hounded by suitors vying to be king. Their son Telemachus (Charlie Plummer) faces death at the hands of these suitors, who see him only as an obstacle to their pursuit of the kingdom. Odysseus has also changed - scarred by his journey and his wartime experience, he is no longer the mighty warrior from years past - but he must rediscover his strength in order to win back all that he has lost.
