John Fowles is a writer who became a classic even in his lifetime. In his youth, he taught English on the Greek island of Spetses. It was there that the plot of the spoof novel "Playing God," which went down in the history of world literature as "The Magus," was born.

The young teacher Nicolas Erfé flees the drabness of his life and a dangerous love affair to the Greek island of Phraxos. There, he falls under the influence of the enigmatic millionaire Maurice Conchis. The "Magus" begins the performance. The ghost of his dead fiancée appears for dinner. A satyr rushes past, pursuing a nymph... Nicolas Erfé, like Orpheus, must descend into Hell, overcome temptations, and save his Eurydice.

The boundaries between actors and audience, stage and reality, blur. What is this? A performance, a psychological experiment, or a sophisticated torture? The whole truth will be revealed to those who reach the very end.
