Set in 16th century Florence, artistic genius Michelangelo Buonarroti is emotionally and physically depleted by his inability to complete the Sistine Chapel ceiling. Despite the acclaim of his contemporaries, Michelangelo struggles with poverty as he attempts |to complete commissions by two rival royal families. He is progressively tormented by hallucinations, often contemplating his moral and artistic failings. Sin portrays Michelangelo not just as a Renaissance legend but as a deeply fl awed man.
