520    On the day of his daughter's wedding, Agamemnon orders her
       sacrifice. His daughter is led to her death, and Agamemnon
       leads his army into battle, where he is rewarded with 
       glorious victory. Three years later, he returns home and 
       his murderous action has set the entire family - mother, 
       brother, sister - on a path of intimate violence, as they 
       enter a world of hushed commands and soundless journeys 
       through the palace's dungeons and bedchambers. As his wife
       seeks his death, his daughter, Electra, is the silent 
       observer to the family's game of innocence while his son, 
       Orestes, is sent into bewildering, frightening exile where
       survival is far from certain. Out of their desolating loss,
       Electra and Orestes must find a way to right these wrongs 
       of the past even if it means committing themselves to a 
       terrible, barbarous act
