A documentary about the outstanding Ukrainian philosopher Hryhoriy Skovoroda. In the company of well-known writers, historians, philosophers, folklorists, psychologists and neurophysiologists, the film's authors carry out a kind of investigation into the mysterious twists and turns of fate in Skovoroda's biography, taking the audience through various places and epochs associated with the formation and work of the philosopher. The film tells about medieval European secret societies, famous mystics and alchemists who were Skovoroda's contemporaries. The authors will reveal the secret of Blaise Pascal's mysterious vision and Socrates' otherworldly "daimon", help to unravel the symbols depicted on the walls of ancient temples, and even allow you to touch the mystical abilities of Indian yogis. Prominent scientists will help to better understand the Frying Pan phenomenon, revealing previously unknown aspects of the human brain.
