透过史实数据和重新演绎创作技法揭开米开朗基罗不凡一生和艺术瑰宝，揭开艺术奇才的神秘面纱。五百年前，米开朗基罗创造出世上三大艺术极品：戴维像，梵蒂冈西斯汀教堂的天花板壁画，与罗马圣彼得大教堂圆顶。节目中将追随他的成长过程，看他如何从愤怒少年转化成罗马的光荣。他绝顶的才艺深受世人的景仰和推崇，现代专家于是重新演绎当年绘画西斯汀教堂的技法，甚至在仿照米开朗基罗设计的脚手架上工作。一位雕刻家使用传统工具，从当初戴维像采用的矿石场取得一块大理石，重新雕出戴维的头像。然而这些专家的技术与投入，足以完成这些艰难的工作吗？他们是不是少了一个重要的特质：天份？米开朗基罗的私生活也将受到检验，到底是否如传言所说般的风波不断呢？节目从他的信件与诗词，重新拼凑出其一生中最关键的时期，让大家深入了解米开朗基罗复杂人格的固执与才华。我们将发现这位伟大的艺术家也是一位公关天才，他操纵为自己做传的作家，并巧妙地将自己塑造成受苦难的受害者。但是这位艺术史上第一位超级巨星真是穷困潦倒，受尽屈辱，孓然一身的边缘人吗？有可能他其实工于心计，巧妙塑造自己给世人的形象…

As a boy, Cruickshank lived in the rebuilt old town and it inspired his passion for architecture and made him the man he is today. Combining autobiography with architectural criticism, the film offers a vivid illustration of how cityscapes are changing continually over time. In an era when history is once again under attack from extremism, Cruickshank presents the recreation of the lost Polish capital as an inspiration for all of us. He asks important questions about the sense and the methods of reconstruction of destroyed treasures of culture... whether "restoration" should aim to recreate the past as closely as possible, or to reinterpret the past in terms of the present...
