The series recounts Leonardo da Vinci's extraordinary life through the works that made him famous, through the stories hidden within those works, revealing little by little the inner torment of a man obsessed with attaining perfection.

Born the illegitimate son of a notary in the rural town of Vinci, Leonardo's lonely childhood leaves him with a relentless, near-superhuman drive to understand everything. Under questioning by a Milanese investigator who holds Leonardo's life in his hands, we come to see the terrible personal sacrifice that led him to create masterpieces that changed the way we see the world forever.—Happy_Evil_Dude
