They also explore the themes of Leonardo's work, such as the notion of truth, the spirit, the eye, water, and ethics. At one point during the interview, one of the journalists dares to ask about Mona Lisa. This spurs da Vinci to descend into the basement, where he meets with a series of individuals who have marked his life and his most celebrated work.

The characters brought up during this time include Ludovico Sforza, the former Duke of Milan, and his beautiful wife, Beatrice d'Este. These scenes also address works such as Portrait of the Musician and the Battle of Anghiari. The interview comes to an end with da Vinci offering a prophecy about the future of communication.
