The Organs of Sense

In 1666, a blind astronomer makes a bold prediction that a solar eclipse will plunge all of Europe into darkness for four seconds, a claim met with skepticism. Young Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, uncertain in his faith in reason, embarks on a journey to uncover the truth behind this enigmatic figure and his extraordinary assertion. As the eclipse approaches, the astronomer reveals a rich tapestry of events involving royalty, family drama, madness, art, loss, and the ravages of war, all connected to his remarkable prediction.
