Taurus City, The United States of Europe, 2023. Uly, a disillusioned soldier riddled with amnesia, returns home from a war in the Middle East, knowing only that he must desperately comb the city to find his beloved wife, Penelope. Fate fills this endless night with a series of chance meetings. Whether it be the wealthy Alcyde, the beastly cyclops Popov, Aeo the Gyspy, or Cici the Sorceress, good or evil that they be, each encounter fills in a missing piece of Uly's memory, so that he can finally face his past.

John aka Uli (Andrea Zirio) is a PTSD veteran. The year is 2020 and Europe has become a "United States" in order to keep out refugees from the Middle east. Uli finds himself here after being gone seven years. He searches for his wife Penelope.
The film feeds those who like conspiracy theories. Danny Glover likes to play chess in this film, but doesn't play Elohim. The production gives you the idea this was going to be a modern version of the classic tale of Ulysses, but falls short of expectations and not nearly as clever as "O Brother, Where Art Thou.".
