Told by Charles Berling, the film by Gilles Coudert juxtaposes the director's experience as an adolescent growing up in the biggest project ever built by Le Corbusier in Europe, in Firminy, France with insights from several contemporary artists including architects, a choreographer, a filmmaker, a designer and a composer. Architectural historian Jean Louis Cohen provides comment as do several inhabitants and users of Le Corbusier's complex.
