Next to him is the gigantic cook with her son Mark.
But here is a new character come to enliven the scene: a girl enters their life bringing a breath of fresh air into their lives.
Between one adventure and another the great archeologist tells the story of Troy with the kidnapping of Helen, the war, the heroic deeds, the affairs of the gods. The spirit of Helen seems to hover over that group of wonderful characters; will it be her to make love explode between the two young people?
Will it always be her to protect them from a destiny that wants to separate them?
