Florença, início do século XVI. Embora amplamente considerado um génio pelos seus contemporâneos, Michelangelo Buonarroti (Alberto Testone) é reduzido à pobreza e encontra-se esgotado na sua luta para terminar o teto da Capela Sistina. Quando o seu comissário e chefe da nobreza Della Rovere, Papa Júlio II, morre, Michelangelo fica obcecado em obter o melhor mármore para completar a sua tumba. A lealdade do artista é testada quando Leão X, da família rival Medici, ascende ao papado e o encarrega de uma nova encomenda lucrativa - a fachada da Basílica de San Lorenzo. Forçado a mentir para manter o favor de ambas as famílias, Michelangelo é progressivamente atormentado por suspeitas e alucinações, levando-o a examinar implacavelmente as suas próprias falhas morais e artísticas. Escrito e dirigido por Andrei Konchalovsky, "O Pecado" é uma reflexão emocionante sobre a agonia e o êxtase da grandeza individual e a profunda humanidade por trás da lenda do Renascimento.

Andrey Konchalovsky's project "the Burden of power" is about unpopular decisions of heads of state and political figures in power. The heroes of the cycle "Burden of power" can not be called fighters for liberal ideas, but they paradoxically had a huge impact on the fate and development of their countries. The film about Heydar Aliyev is part of Andrey Konchalovsky's cycle "the Burden of power" about the great politicians of the twentieth century. This cycle began with a film about Yuri Andropov. It was Andropov who promoted Heydar Aliyev as a politician, because he saw him as a close associate in the upcoming reform of the Soviet Union. Unfortunately, the story followed a different scenario: the USSR collapsed, and Heydar Aliyev was thrown out of politics. But he managed to return to it as a winner, overcome the turmoil, become the President of Azerbaijan, and give his people confident guidelines for moving into the future.
