ณ จุดเปลี่ยนผ่านสำคัญของคริสตจักรโรมันคาทอลิก สมเด็จพระสันตะปาปาเบเนดิกต์ที่ 16 สร้างมิตรภาพที่คาดไม่ถึงกับว่าที่พระสันตะปาปาฟรานซิสในผลงานที่ได้แรงบันดาลใจจากเรื่องจริง

During the Italian Renaissance, Pope Julius II contracts the influential artist Michelangelo to sculpt 40 statues for his tomb. When the pope changes his mind and asks the sculptor to paint a mural in the Sistine Chapel, Michelangelo doubts his painting skills and abandons the project. Divine inspiration returns Michelangelo to the mural, but his artistic vision clashes with the pope's demanding personality and threatens the success of the historic painting.

Animated short film of Michelangelo set to Beethoven Symphony No. 5 - I. Allegro con brio.

This thought-provoking film explores the creation of Michelangelo's famed mural on the ceiling on the Sistine Chapel, a piece widely considered to be one of the finest works of the Renaissance era. Commissioned in 1508 by Pope Julius II, the nine-panel fresco took a full four years to complete and includes key scenes from the Book of Genesis, including the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden and the Great Flood that buoyed Noah's ark.
