Medea, the heroine of the Greek myth, has become Irène, who is now living among us. She was transformed by the air of our time. Every night, she sings in a cabaret to sustain her family. And Jason abandons her. She ends up on the brink of madness caught in a maze of obsessions but she does not kill children and rivals, but rather inflicts violence on herself until she succumbs to a devastating nervous breaking down. But, the big changing happens when she hears about Marcella, a Rumanian girl who is forced into prostitution and develops cancer. Medea sees her as the symbol of all exploited women. She would like to help her and all those who suffer but it requires a strength which she does not yet possess.
