Medea is an immigrant in a civilized country, where he could finally find peace with his family, but his husband's betrayal is certified by the "normal" society. His otherness, primarily his categorical thinking, and his ancient knowledge with other cultural codes are fearful for the local community, and they see an obsessed barbarian, an avoidable danger and a parasitic wanderer. She finds shelter in the ghetto of the city, in truly barbaric circumstances and she becomes outlawed, politically persecuted, with other elements who are waiting to deport from a civilized culture and cannot be integrated into this culture. The story takes place in this ghetto in the dump of the ruling civilization.
