This film is the story of the “Salvador Mundi,” latin for Savior of the World, a painting which may or may not have been created by Leonardo da Vinci. It originally was discovered in 2005 when a pair of art specialists bought it from a New Orleans estate for $1175 dollars. At first thought to be a copy, on closer inspection it was found to have characteristics of an authentic da Vinci, and was brought back to life by a restoration artist. This began years of high dollar speculation, culminating in a Saudi Prince buying it for a world record $450 million.
