The Return follows Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes, Conclave), king of the Greek island of Ithaca, as he finally washes up on the shores of his home 20 years after departing for the Trojan War. Time and the voyage home have not been kind to him, and few recognize the haggard old man as the warrior king they once knew. Odysseus discovers that his wife Penelope (Juliette Binoche) is essentially a captive in her home as suitors vie for her hand in marriage and, through her, kingship of Ithaca. To make matters worse, the suitors view Odysseus and Penelope’s son Telemachus as a threat to their plans and plot to kill him. Disguising himself as a beggar and scheming from the shadows, Odysseus must defend his family and home in this down-to-earth adaptation of Homer's epic. “Ralph Fiennes is magnificent in a role he’s wanted to play for many years. He brings forth the decades of weariness inherent in the part, the dormant warrior lurking beneath, as well as the craftiness Odysseus is known for.”—Ankit Jhunjhunwala, The Playlist.
