Visual, intellectual and emotional roller-coaster which deals with sexual, religious and artistic exploitation. A tour of the Louvre leads to telling the story of Leonardo DaVinci's sexual assault on the Mona Lisa and how it led him to paint an encounter between the Messiah's mom and the Elvis of dinosaurs. (Plus tap-dancing Jesus, cappucino-swilling tyrannosaurs ...and the the devil himself leads us into temptation.)
