Synopsis

In the non too distant future, society seems to be devouring itself in a vacuum of materialistic consumer greed manifesting itself in a disease like plague turning ordinary people into savage, zombie like, sub-humans.   Jacob, a young aspiring journalist together with his girlfriend Laura, a young attractive self assured, yet vain, it-girl go on the trail of the Tempter, a figure-head in the media reported to be responsible for the decline of the social order.   As Jacob's search for a story takes them out of their comfortable, frappucino filled world and into the seedy underbelly of Britain’s backstreets, low lifes and eventually the decaying Eden Estate, cracks begin to appear in their co-dependant relationship driving a rift between them.   At a cross-roads fighting for not only his relationship, sanity and survival, Jacob is left with three pivotal questions;   Who is The Tempter?   Does the Tempter really exist?   And if so, is the Tempter truly responsible for the impending armaggedon, or is there a more darker, more sinister, more simple truth to it all?

Synopsis

Twenty years after his departure to the Trojan War, Odysseus still has not returned home. So his son, Telemachus sets off an epic journey in search of his lost father. So begins Homer's epic poem, The Odyssey - the narrative reference point for John Akomfrah's unusual and genre defying story about chance, fate and redemption.   Structured as an allegorical fable and loosely inspired by existential science fiction, The Nine Muses is a stylised, unusual and idiosyncratic retelling of the history of mass migration to post-war Britain through the suggestive lens of the Homeric epic.   Divided into nine overlapping musical chapters and mixing a vast array of archival material, The Nine Muses is a modern recasting of Homer's epic as a 'song cycle' about journeys, migration, memory and the power of elegy.
