Odysseus and Calypso live a life of pastoral island bliss. But tranquility gives way to turbulence when Odysseus discovers the apparent truth about his identity. He has a choice: to confront his past, or to remain sheltered in a world of comfort.
Based on Book Five of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey, Island of Oblivion is a Maltese production written and directed by Jamie Vella. It features Alberto Brosio as Odysseus, Ariadna Cabrol Espinal as Calypso, Paul Portelli as Captain Euryliches and Jacqui Losco as Penelope.
Island of Oblivion will have its world premiere in competition at the Prishtina International Film Festival 2025, followed by its Maltese premiere on Wednesday 8 October 2025 at Eden Cinemas, St. Julian’s.
