A visit to the Acropolis Museum and the Acropolis rock becomes the starting point for a magical journey into the ancient world and its secrets. An inquisitive student drives a retired archaeologist crazy with his questions, and together they try to uncover the mysteries hidden within the monuments. 

Their walk among the ancient buildings and exhibits of the Museum provides an opportunity to discuss the relationship between the ancient and modern city, the historical phases and adventures of the Acropolis, the origins of democratic government, and the great battles of the Persian Wars. They also attempt to interpret Pericles' building program, converse with great historical figures, and encounter the known and unknown protagonists who conceived, designed, and built the great monuments: from the inspired politicians, the ingenious architects, and the pioneering artists, to the highly skilled craftsmen and the simple slaves. 

Thus, the student and the teacher enjoy a journey through space and time, vividly reliving the monuments, and simultaneously understanding the values of that great era.
