Synopsis

This film tells the story of a group of young people from Gaza staging a Palestinian version of the Odyssey, which they have re-written and interpreted. It has been a success. The story of Ulysses, the Greek hero from Homer's saga, is about home. Home is an important concept that characterizes the entire long journey. Ulysses was driven from his home after the battle of Troy. Many people in Gaza are displaced due to bombs or occupation. The film discusses the realization of the show, from the initial stages of writing to the performance, but it also seeks to understand how Ulysses' message can be articulated in this place. It addresses the meaning of home in Gaza, how people try to maintain it, and the struggle to survive against everything that seeks to destroy it.
