Story
In the aftermath of an unspecified catastrophe, a man waking up in a desert dystopia finds himself suffering from PTSD and amnesia. Dubbed 'Ulysses', he is cared for by 'Calypso', a woman who claims to be helping him recover his memories. As Ulysses' past begins to resurface, he struggles to discern whether Calypso's assistance is genuine or if she's holding him captive in this desolate world.
Summary
Calypso, directed by Luca Severi in 2019, is a dramatic exploration of memory and reality set against the backdrop of a post-apocalyptic landscape. The film follows Ulysses, a modern-day hero reminiscent of Homer's Odysseus, as he navigates his way through trauma and uncertainty. Central to the story is Calypso, the enigmatic figure who challenges Ulysses' perception of truth and reality. The film's themes of memory loss, trust, and survival in desolate environments create a compelling narrative that blurs the line between assistance and captivity.
