In this wry retelling of the ancient myth of the Medusa, strange, clothed statues of men are appearing all over Greece. Only Perseus, the leader of a gang of modern Athenian thieves, holds the answer to the mystery. It has something to do with a beautiful, long-haired woman in black who is connected with his troubled childhood. One night, his gang breaks into a deserted house in the countryside looking for goods to steal. What they find is entirely unexpected, and leads Perseus on a dangerous journey into his past.

Medousa is one of the very few attempts to make a modern Greek horror film. Its intriguing plot unfolds in a surprising and yet entirely logical way, creating a memorably atmospheric thriller that reworks ancient myths into an original and highly personal narrative.
