Real Story about Argonauts, Colchians and Golden Fleece
The action takes place before the Trojan War. A group of Argonauts from Greece sets out for Colchis in search of the Golden Fleece. A love drama unfolds between Jason, the leader of the Argonauts, and Medea, the princess of Colchis.
Historian and documentary filmmaker Toma Chagelishvili searches for 3,000-year-old stories in the ancient traditions preserved in the mountains of Colchis (Current Republic of Georgia, Caucasus) and brings them to life through scientific experiments.
