"A war veteran struggles on his way home. The hero of Homer's epic poem uses ten years to get home after fighting in the Trojan war. His inner battles are narrated through strange fables, images of mental and emotional processing. He has to go through a series of challenges to shake off the war. Morten Cranner has adapted the story about this classic and modern war hero's journey home in three parts for Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation's radio drama division."
