Just watched an interview about this upcoming movie, I wrote it down below for those interested!

'A feature film for the cinema, destined to the same public as Arcane, for adolescent and young adults.'

Penelope, Homer's penelope, it's her origin story, [therefore] like a prequel of the Odyssey.

She's 17year old (she comes from Sparta) when she arrives in Athens in a school of heirs (all heirs of the Kingdom) and she is forced to go this place, because Athens domines the world in which the story is set.

Its not ancient Greece, [theyre still referring to mythology] but it's going to be a special world, with a modern touch [brought by Fortiche ], so it's a bit of science fiction, parallel world, fantasy.

So she arrives at this school, and she's not like the other heirs, (including Achilles, Agamemnon, Helen and Odysseus ) : she has a secret mission that her father gave her, because Sparta is under a bit of an embargo, dominated by Athens ( which is imperialist) and Penelope must come to this school to free her people.

She has this big mission, so she is much more serious (her personality)

We are going to move from a more comedy film, a teenage film, [in fact a school story] and in the 2nd half, the tone of the film will shift, toward a more adventurous, more epic movie.

They will have to team up, Odysseys and Penelope, to be able to fight a threat, [that we cant talk about now, because it would be a spoiler for the film]

'We're summing it up this way: an Epic Coming of Age story. '
