A por­trait of writer Joost de Vries, giv­ing an insight into his world, fas­ci­na­tions and urge to know every­thing about his sub­jects. He clear­ly oppos­es the rel­a­tivism and cyn­i­cism of the pre­vi­ous gen­er­a­tion of writ­ers. The doc­u­men­tary is a meet­ing between lit­er­a­ture and film, between writer and film­mak­er.
