Storyline

Salvador Dalí had an obsession for science that lasted all his life and that can be traced to his paintings. He was a compulsive reader of scientific literature, from psychoanalysis to quantum mechanics, from mathematics to genetics. Moreover, he strived all his life to meet relevant scientists: he met Sigmund Freud, J.D. Watson, and many others. The scientists were surprised to discover that beyond the façade of a clownish showman there was a brilliant artist with whom they get into entertain meaningful discussions. This film reveals an unknown aspect of one of the most important painters of 20th century.
