A touching father-son story inspired by the Homeric epic. When Jay Mendelsohn, a retired mathematician at 81 years old, spontaneously decides to attend his son Daniel's university introductory course on the "Odyssey," neither man realizes that this will mark the beginning of a unique family journey. Father and son follow a maritime route tracing the footsteps of the Homeric epic – and in the face of their own mortality, they break through their mutual silence. A 3,000-year-old myth addresses all the themes of humanity that still resonate with us: family, identity, home. At the same time, it guides a father and son on their path to reconnecting with each other.
