Synopsis

**HisTroy** is a timeless documentary-drama that intertwines the three faces of ancient Troy—popular legend, mythological epic, and archaeological reality—with the modern era. Set in 2025, the film explores how Homer begins writing the Iliad amidst ongoing excavations, blending contemporary technology and spirit with the echoes of the past. At the heart of the ancient city, Troy emerges not merely as a reflection of history but as a modern narrative, brought to life through Homer’s words.

Homer’s writing process is portrayed with a touch of humor and thought-provoking details, animated through nostalgic black-and-white sequences reminiscent of the 1950s, where legendary figures like Hector are brought back to life.
