For 500 years we've been looking at the Mona Lisa, and it turns out that she's been looking right back at us. Over the centuries, few could hear her voice, but now we are let into the secret, as she tells us her story in her own words - a tale of rivalry, murder and heartbreak. And a mystery of Leonardo's greatest lost painting. Weaving through the years, she takes us from the dazzling world of da Vinci's Florentine studio to the French courts at Fontainebleau and Versailles, and into the 20th century.

Kort før Anden Verdenskrig flygter Jack og Sadie Rosenblum med deres lille datter fra Berlin til London. Da de går i land i Harwich, får de udleveret en pamflet fra den Tysk-jødiske hjælpekomite. Den fortæller, hvordan man bliver en rigtig englænder, og Jack følger listen slavisk. Han går i Covent Garden, køber ind i Harrods og taler aldrig tysk, med mindre han en sjælden gang bander. Men trods sin gode vilje møder han et utal af forhindringer.

E se la storia d’amore più romantica di sempre fosse tutta una menzogna? La prima volta che Romeo la vede, se ne innamora all’istante. Lei, che si chiama Rosalina Capuleti e che, destinata al convento, deve conoscere l’amore, combattere la sorte decisa da altri. Ma quando lui le chiede di mentire, rubare, tradire, nel cuore della passione si insinua il dubbio: e se Romeo Montecchi non fosse chi dice di essere?
