The story

Young Kevin is fascinated by history, particularly Ancient Greece, while his parents are obsessed only with modern consumerism and buying the latest household gadgets.

After they reveal a long corridor leading to a portal, Kevin hesitates to join them until the apparition of a floating, menacing head—the Supreme Being—appears, demanding the map's return.

With Kevin's help, they visit several locations in spacetime and meet Napoleon Bonaparte and Robin Hood, while Kevin uses his camera to document their visits.
