Circe’s Dream reimagines the myth of Medea through the lens of her displacement from Colchis (modern-day Georgia). Shot largely in Ostia, on the fringes of the Immortal City, it evokes Rome’s strange, otherworldly atmosphere—timeless yet under threat. In Foreign Travel, Leonie is taken by her readings of Italian author Anna Maria Ortese and brings along friends into a reading group. Seasons go by, and life unfolds through a beautifully portrayed quotidian simplicity. A reflection on the intersections between literature, history and life, with the gentleness of friendship as a form for such inquiry.
