Medea

In this film, a lonely mother (Nathalie BAYE) and her son (Vincent DEDIENNE) go to the opera where a performance of CHERUBINI’s opera Medea is given. For her own birthday, the mother wanted to surprise her son by inviting him to the opera. But, the son’s plan were different and he is quite upset about it. His mother tries to break the silent barrier behind which he hides.
A semblance of discussion begins, not without humour. Tension is present but, as the performance goes on, both find themselves astounded, captured, left alone in the opera house.
