В фильме мало места уделено «затертому» сюжету об «аргонавтах», можно сказать упоминается об этом вскользь. Причем аргонавты показаны отнюдь не романтично героически, а скорее напоминают наемников-мародеров. Большая же часть фильма посвящена второй половине жизни Медеи и Ясона: встреча, любовь и расставание. Брошенная, и даже изгнанная Медея не может простить коварства своего бывшего возлюбленного, променявшего ее ради свадьбы с Глоцией, дочерью короля Креона. Она начинает мщение с помощью своих магических чар.

In which Scheherazade tells of how desolation invaded men : “It hath reached me, O auspicious King, that a Judge will cry instead of giving out her sentence. A runaway murderer will wander through the land for over forty days and will teletransport himself to escape the Guard while dreaming of prostitutes and partridges. A wounded cow will reminisce about a thousand-year-old olive tree while saying what she must say, which will sound none less than sad !

He connects with a Freudian psychiatrist who is convinced that his homosexuality stems from an unresolved Oedipus complex which he has repressed by denying his natural attractions to women, to which the psychiatrist's proposed solution is to hypnotize Esther into believing that she is a man so that men will become the gender that sexually repulses Demira; in his career, he is ambivalent when the first "mainstream" role he is able to land is a gore film in which he will play the victim of a cannibal family for which Esther has also been cast as the mother.
