Synopsis

Moaner Lisa - The story behind the smiling face.

The year is 1503 and Leonardo da Vinci is about to paint his most famous masterpiece... the Mona Lisa. Lisa’s wealthy husband, Mr del Giocondo has just a few simple requests of Leonardo - make sure to paint a portrait that captures Lisa’s inner beauty and her special smiley face.

Surely it won’t be a problem for a master like Leonardo. This fast-paced, short comedy is a stroke of genius!
