Medea

Details

Two boys are playing a game. They fight, they laugh, they jump up and down, they play dead. Downstairs, their parents - Medea and Jason - are arguing. As the shouting gets louder, their bedroom will no longer be able to protect them from the violence of the outside world. Their iconic fate, at the hands of their mother, will ensure that they enter mythology as two of the most tragic siblings of all time.
