Микеланджело Буонарроти (1475 — 1564), гений, чье имя стало символом эпохи Возрождения. Его жизнь была полна взлетов и падений, трагедий и любви. Он знал, что такое нищета, отчаяние, одиночество. И что такое — медные трубы всеобщего восхищения. Никчемный каменотес, как называл его родной отец, не понимавший одержимого стремления юного Микеланджело посвятить себя искусству, стал величайшим скульптором и живописцем (а еще — архитектором, поэтом и мыслителем). Давид, Пьета в соборе святого Петра в Ватикане, фрески Сикстинской капеллы… Разве можно представить нашу жизнь без этих удивительных и прекрасных произведений? Этот фильм переносит нас в Рим и Флоренцию конца XV — начала XVI веков и погружает в драматичнейший период истории Италии.
