MOVIE
The movie allegedly occurs in an alternate "Dark Ages" 15th-Century England, according to the imdb, so it only makes perfect sense that Leonardo DaVinci plays a key role. A young boy named Tee is soon bought and kept by David Warner, a medieval squeegee entrepreneur who begs in the streets during the day only to return home to his state-of-the-art s&m basement apartment at night. Warner gets his great wealth from the Delta Knights, a splinter faction of Ordo Templi Georgeum.
After David Warner dies, Tee sets off on his own and soon takes up company with a painter named Leonardo. As they look for Archimedes' screw together, David Warner chases them. In order to kill David Warner again. DaVinci invents gunpowder and blows him up. Horrified by the destruction his invention has wrought, Leonardo orders that all copies of Huckleberry Finn in the village be burned. The End.
