Michelangelo is desperate to remain at the school and so he begins to carve discarded pieces of marble in secret. When the ruler of Florence, Lorenzo de Medici takes an interest in him, he shows him his newest acquisition, a carved statue of a faun. Michelangelo discovers that he can hear the faun, who inspires him to create a great statue out of the marble, which changes his life forever.
