Odysseus
The Epic Game between the gods and a lone sea traveller
​
A father and his daughter watch with interest as a savvy man manages to capture an entire nation and then sail home across the world's oceans. They decide to play a game: with each roll of the dice, they provide the man with an obstacle on his return journey.
So he gets in his path: a sorceress, bird-like women and one-eyed giants that he must overcome. In this evocative heroic epic, father and daughter take each bet.
Will the man make it home, or not?
