Great philosopher and intellectual Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is painted on behalf of Electress Sophie of Hanover. During the portrait sessions, the philosopher and the young painter engage in a passionate struggle for truth in image and likeness, and ultimately for love and death.
Unfortunately the movie Leibniz is not yet available on HBO Max.
