A sweeping drama about artistic vision and the determination required to create one of modern Paris’s most iconic landmarks. In 1980s Paris, Danish architect Johan Otto von Spreckelsen is unexpectedly chosen to design the monumental La Grande Arche at La Défense. With no experience of such a vast project, he must turn an audacious vision into reality.

What the critics say:
“A seductive, charming and intelligently accessible film, bringing to light the unique career of a forgotten creator.”— Cineuropa
