A director, Ugo, is looking for Medea. An actress, Ada, shows up to audition. Dislocated, furious, she convinces him to listen to her story. The story of a woman who, sick with love, commits a monstrous act of forgetfulness.

«ADA: Congratulations. You want to direct Medea, but not because you salute her courage. But because you hate your lack of courage. You remain living, still, and you drag this life in silence, with elegance. But if you don’t have the courage to scream out what is driving you insane, then you don’t have the courage to be a monster. / UGO: Thanks for the lecture. I would ask you to stop that now. I would ask you to refrain from dissecting me, my way of life is mine I will do with it as I please. »
