Summary

Few Greeks - and also a few Spaniards - know that there were Greek sailors on the ships of the mission of Magellan and Elcano, who 500 years ago attempted the long and turbulent voyage that was to end in the first round of the world. A thorough documentary, which, through fiction, presents the History to "interrogate", in scenes of Rhodes and Chios, the little known Greek navigator who brought back to Spain the only ship that survived the First Circumnavigation of the World and which he bequeathed to future the naval calendar of that unique mission.
