Genius retelling of the war of troy with focus on the different women, their battles, their heroism, their pride, their experiences and suffering. With all the war in the world right now, this is more current than ever, showing how the innocent suffer, when war is about to happen, when wars are fought and even in their aftermath.
It is a heavy topic with many sad endings. No escapisme and not recommended as a light hearted entertainment.
