The true story of a 16th-century Italian miller whose independent and enquiring mind led him to develop his own bizarre cosmology; in his own words: "All was chaos, that is, earth, air, water and fire were mixed together, and out of that bulk a mass formed - just as cheese is made out of milk - and worms appeared in it, and these were the angels. And the greatest of the worms was God." Written by Miles Gibson.
