Where´s the connection between deforestation and Leonardo da Vinci? And what does Leonardo have to do with waste disposal? How does waste fit in with snails? What is it that connects snails with Jesus?

Leonardo da Vinci, renowned for his contributions to art, science, and engineering during the Renaissance, also played an unexpected role in waste disposal in Milan. In the late 15th century, Da Vinci designed an innovative system for waste management in the city. His concept involved creating a network of canals to divert and efficiently dispose of waste, preventing the buildup of garbage in the streets and waterways. While not fully implemented in his time, Da Vinci's forward-thinking ideas laid the groundwork for later developments in urban sanitation. His vision for a cleaner and more organized waste disposal system showcased his interdisciplinary approach, combining artistic creativity with practical engineering solutions for the benefit of public health and the urban environment. Even beyond his masterpieces, Leonardo da Vinci's impact extended into unexpected realms, including the early considerations for waste management practices in the evolving city of Milan.

The knowledge format "Missing Link" highlights a wealth of facts from nature, life and technology - from amphibians to outer space, from large machines to genetic engineering. In each documentary, five objects from the most diverse areas of our universe are taken one after the other under the magnifying glass of knowledge, in order to then uncover the hidden connections between them by means of high-quality, humorous animation pieces. The connections are enigmatic and surprising; only in retrospect do they appear startlingly clear.
