Leonardo was an extraordinary
artist and inventor, but resear-
chers have discovered, in an-
cient manuscripts, drawings
and treatises that prefigure
many of his inventions and tra-
ce back to classical Greece, the
Arab Empire and even ancient
China. Coincidence or plagiari-
sm? This is the story of the ma-
king of a scientist. In this film,
we blend lavish reconstructions
with interviews with leading
experts to reveal how Leonardo
sought out technical and scien-
tific knowledge lost to Europe
in the Dark Ages and helped
launch a new scientific age.

LEONARDO, THE MAN WHO SAVED SCIENCE
Samadhi is an ancient Sanskrit
word meaning “we are one”.
Through seven extraordinary
stories of pure love and friend-
ship, this film shows that the
only existing barriers betwe-
en humans and animals are
actually those we have created
ourselves. From the forests of
Germany, where Tatjana was
“adopted” by a pack of wolves,
to the jungles of Borneo, whe-
re Shaulé’s best friend is a tiger,
we will discover the magic of
these unpredictable but deeply
moving relationships.
