Medea — “Wer­den wir frei sein?”, fragte sie plöt­zlich.

The movie interweaves rehearsals for a dance piece, "Medea", with the troubles of a young Georgian refugee on the run from German immigration authorities, Kafka text fragments, and Cherubini's Medea opera, into a story of liberty, egality and the denial of it to those who have been stigmatized as "strangers" from the time of old Corinth until the present.
