Synopsis

Agamemnon returns victorious to Mycenae after the end of the costly Trojan War, only to die at the hands of his conniving, unfaithful wife, Clytemnestra, and her lover, Aegisthus.

As Agamemnon's son, Orestes, is secretly sent away by his mentor, the king's beautiful daughter, Electra, stays in Mycenae only to witness her mother's wedding to Aegisthus.

More and more, fierce hatred and the thirst for retribution replace her innocence, forcing her to weave an elaborate scheme.

As a result, when Orestes returns home, the determined siblings summon up the courage to murder duplicitous Aegisthus, making sure that their adulterous mother, too, shares the same fate with him.

Now, shocked by the double homicide, the people of Mycenae demand justice, banishing Electra and Orestis forever from Argos.

Can they find atonement after matricide?
