Love Is War
Created by David Farr
On BBC One
A romantic tragedy set against the Trojan War, where personal passion and family loyalty collide with the machinery of ancient conflict, told through the lens of those caught in its destruction.
Told from the perspective of the Trojan Family, the rich history of the Trojan War is explored, as well as the love, intrigue and betrayal of those who lived through it. On a trip to Sparta as a guest of Menelaus, Paris, son of Troy, falls in love with Menelaus' wife, Helen. After they depart Sparta together for Troy, Helen and Paris risk not only their lives, but those of their families and people as they trigger a chain of events that ultimately lead them all into an unending war.
