THE RETURN
Italy/UK 2024, Drama, 109 mins
Cast: Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Binoche
Based on Homer's The Odyssey, King Odysseus (Ralph Fiennes) finds himself washed up on the shores of his homeland Ithaca after 20 years away fighting the Trojan War. Now haggard and unrecognizable, Odysseus finds much has changed since he left.
His beloved wife, Penelope (Juliette Binoche), is a prisoner in her own home and hounded by suiters to choose a new husband from amongst them to be king.
Odysseus is no longer the mighty warrior his people remember. But to win back his family and all he has lost, Odysseus resolves to rediscover his strength.
"A beautiful tale of Odysseus as a man who is broken by a war and how he reinvents himself to save his suffering family. Ralph Fiennes and Juliette Binoche are phenomenal." - GM

Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
