The Red Flower of Medea is the herb used by the Kirbishi family for making indispensable ointment, as follows: For several centuries, they have gone to sea on their felucca sailing boat and grown this herb in the earthware pot on the deck to prevent disclosure of the mystery of their drug.
To that end, it is necessary to visit Constanta, the hamlet of Makriali in the Laz district of Turkey, and Gonio Fortress, the venues where the King of Colchis, Aeetes, laid to rest the parts of the remains of Absyrtus killed and fractured by Medea and Jason.
Yashar Badishi tries to uncover the mystery of this drug, aiming to sell the recipe to wealthy foreigners Helen Mayers and Alfred Antonopoulos.
This movie novel was conceived as animated drawings of the gifted Laz artist Hasan Helimishi.
