What does the island of his desk, his creative environment speak about an author? Were those wonderfully imaginative novels created in unusual surroundings? This documentary TV film marks 90 years since the birth, 10 years since the death of Milorad Pavić, as well as 35 years since the creation of his Dictionary of the Khazars: A Lexicon Novel. Designed as a literary geography of his workspace, today his Legacy. The auteur of the film recorded the interview with Pavić, a valuable archival record, 12 years earlier and has not been shown in full, so far.
