Dairy farmer Robin Meredith has just buried his Californian wife Caro who, though a central figure at the farm for more than twenty years, had remained a mystery to the family. With Caro gone, her adopted daughter Judy feels cut adrift.

Syrakus im 5. Jh. v. Chr.: Nach ihrer Niederlage in einer legendär gewordenen Seeschlacht darben Hunderte athenischer Kriegsgefangener in den Steinbrüchen der Stadt. Die Freunde Lampo und Gelon, beide arbeitslose Töpfer und große Fans von Euripides, schmieden den Plan, mit den Gefangenen «Medea» zu inszenieren, als Lohn gibt es Brot und Wein. Eine richtige Aufführung, die bis in alle Ewigkeit besungen wird. Doch ein Theaterstück aufzuführen ist fast ebenso gefährlich, wie in den Krieg zu ziehen.
