Set in the late 1930s, 'Gilgamesh' is the story of Edith, a young Australian woman whose life becomes deeply entwined with ancient myths and the tumult of the world on the brink of war. After a visit from her cousin and his Armenian friend, whose tales of Gilgamesh spark her imagination, Edith embarks on a profound journey from her humble farm to the heart of Armenia and beyond. With her child by her side—born from a fleeting love—she traverses continents even as the world is closing in on itself with the onset of the World War II. Through her quest for love and understanding, Edith's life mirrors the epic legend of Gilgamesh, filled with enduring friendships, heartbreaking loss, and the relentless pursuit of a place to call home. This is a tale of an indomitable spirit's quest that leads to self-discovery in a world poised between the ancient and the modern, the mythological and the real.
