A documentary film based on the works of writers and poets from around the world who traeled to Greece during recent centuries and were inspired by the Aegean Archipelago. The poems, excerpts and travel notes of acclaimed literary figures are illustrated with lively imagery from most of the Aegean islands that enchances the rich cultural and natural landscape of the Aegean Sea. It is a literary journey narrated in different languages that blends the past with the present through breathtaking sceneries and poetic beauty.
