Plots(1)

The film was created "as an animated stroll through da Vinci's notebooks and sketches". During editing, the director decided to intercut these sequences with excerpts of archival TV footage. This led to the creation of unexpected parallels – timeless images of human aggressiveness and consumerism. The music of Zdeněk Liška enhances the intensity of the allegory.
