How does the brain of a genius differ from the brain of an ordinary person? And the brain of a primitive man differs from a modern one? Neuroscientist Konstantin Anokhin will present a new look at the human brain. Why do Russian scientists visit Buddhist monks every year? And why is it so difficult to study our brain, despite all the achievements of science? Will we lose control of our own lives due to the development of artificial intelligence? The film will answer the main question — is it someone else's brain or our own?

Historians and archivists have been studying the life of Christopher Columbus for five centuries. Who was he? According to one version, the traveler was a brilliant hoaxer who invented a biography for himself. On the other hand, he was a commoner and a Jew on his mother's side, and representatives of this nationality were persecuted at that time. That's probably why he had to come up with a new identity. According to the third, he was a nobleman and could even be the illegitimate son of a royal who was born in Majorca, which is why he was familiar with some European monarchs. According to the fourth, Columbus was a pirate and even a kind of 007 agent in the service of the Portuguese king. So which of these is true? Where was Columbus born? How did you live before you went in search of the shortest sea route to India? Where is he buried? What sensational discovery about the legendary navigator have scientists made recently? And did Christopher Columbus really exist? In the film "Columbus" we answer all these questions and tell the true story of the legendary navigator.
