A 54-minute documentary concerning the relationship of the English author John Fowles with Greece, and specifically the island of Spetses. The film follows the return of the novelist after 45 years, to places like Spetses and Monemvasia, which inspired him to write "The Magus". Given that the novel contains many autobiographical elements, this journey offers John Fowles a unique opportunity to "return" to his young self. At the same time, the author declares his deep love for Greece and presents the cultural and intellectual elements that he respects in this country.
