Phantastes

On his twenty-first birthday, Anodos opens a hidden chamber in his dead father’s old secretary—and a tiny woman steps out, as if from its depths.

She grows tall before his eyes, speaks of his sister’s question about Fairy Land, and promises that he will find the way there. The next morning, water wells from Anodos’s marble basin and runs across his carpet, while carved ivy seems to stir into life. In this quiet room, the familiar world is already giving way to something strange. Anodos has longed to believe in Fairy Land; now the path is opening beneath his feet, though he cannot know what waits beyond it. Where will the running water lead him?
