“A work of considerable daring” – RogerEbert.com

This intimate portrait of a rural family’s inner lives and their relationship to a harsh and shifting landscape follows Ennis, a stern, hard-working dairy farmer, as he struggles to maintain control of his family and surrounding environment, and his wife, Christina, as she retreats into herself, increasingly disconnecting from her husband and their five children.

“A primal tragedy rendered with exquisite imagery” – Variety

As tensions increase, each character must confront their yearnings and anxieties, culminating in a dangerous conflict between control and freedom, intimacy and alienation.

A journey into the unpredictable boundaries of human behavior, Medeas explores the desperate lengths people are driven to by love and self-preservation.

“Medeas is successful as an atmospherically intimate story of a family whose fate is written not in the stars, but in its pronounced breakdown of communication, and how unspoken tension gradually accumulates until it’s ready to burst.” – Slant Magazine

“With a singular, carefully controlled vision and luminous 35 mm cinematography, Andrea Pallaoro imbues a heartbreaking domestic story with an iconic, mythical feel.” – Palm Springs International Film Festival
