Medealand<\/em><\/strong>
The refugee Medea, who has left everything behind for love, finds herself in a psychiatric unit as she awaits deportation from her husband\u2019s homeland. From the bottom of the world, she turns to the country\u2019s king for permission to stay, and as she waits for Jason to come back to her she becomes increasingly frightened for herself. Next to her is her dead mother, and soon also her dead children, as well as a goddess who plays the role of psychiatrist and who is, in the end, the one to push her over the edge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
