At the turn of the millennium, on a dusty shelf, a musician discovered a diary her late father had written in 1956. The young sailor detailed his extraordinary post war hitch-hike from HMS Surprise in Malta, through Europe, and back to England where he was demobbed. The musician, inspired by the sailor's words, followed in his footsteps 50 years later, with her saxophone and a group of artists. On their return they conceived a new artists' collective, a soundtrack, a concert and an exhibition.
