Storyline

After ten years, The Trojan War is over. All its men are dead, all its women's fate lie in the hands of their conquerors: a future filled with dread, punishment and humiliation. In a prison, as the women await their fate, they struggle to keep alive their dignity, their humanity and their memories of a civilisation soon to be lost for ever. Two thoughts keep them alive: to see their prince, Astyanax survive to found a new Troy. And to see the punishment by death of the woman they blame for all their suffering Helen.

Troy 2

In the movie TROY Orlando Bloom is showing his deceased brothers wife the escape tunnel and tells her that when the GREEKS get inside the walls they'll impale all the babies, rape the women and burn Troy to the ground. And in the first 3 minutes of this film, it's exactly what they do. As Hoplites grab the babies from the arms of they're LAMENTING mothers and section off the crying women for a good rodgering. In the TV movie of TROY, Cassandra goes crazy telling everybody how Helena will be the ruin Imation of TROY AND IS Proved RIGHT. HERE she has finally snapped and in a fit lucid behavior, finds out she is to be married off to the Conquering King and plots his death. But this isn't a sword, sand, sandals and shield movie it's all dialog and about women lamenting their dead sons, and how they raised daughter to be married to Greek kings not raped by Auxillary hopilitesits about the aftermath of war.
