The Civil War version of "Odyssey" also describes the protagonist's long and difficult journey home after being baptized by war. Along the way, the hero Inman meets a murderous perverted priest, a mountain man and his lustful relatives, a devastated pregnant girl... Some of them persecute him and do everything possible to prevent him from returning home; some accept him, give him a helping hand. No amount of hardships can shake Inman's dedication to returning home. All kinds of encounters on the journey home are the only way to return from the battlefield to the cold mountains, from the damaged to the whole. Inman was a wounded soldier at the end of the American Civil War. After his soul seemed to burn out, his strong desire for home supported him to stand up and embark on a arduous and long journey home. His lover, Ada, endured loneliness in the countryside where mountains and shadows crisscrossed, spent the transformation period of losing parents and independence, and learned how to fight the rough and sharp life. The war has destroyed everything, and the cold mountain that still stands is the only connection between them, and it is also the place of their memories and hopes - a beautiful country that can heal you even if the paradise you believe in has been shattered.
