Julian, a soldier in the US Army, left for war quite a while ago and is missing in action, leaving behind his beautiful wife, Lola, and daughters Telly and Tara to deal with everyday problems at home -- smelly suitors, a broken car, and the long and boring Odyssey. But as Homer's epic tale is told to them by a kindly old neighbor, they begin to discover that Odysseus' quest for home echoes Julian's efforts. As the girls seek information on the whereabouts of their hero dad, Odysseus' journey plays out before our very eyes.
