French President François Mitterrand decides to launch an international architectural competition for the flagship project of his mandate: the Great Arch of La Défense, aligned with the Louvre and the Arc de Triomphe. Against all odds, Otto von Spreckelsen, a Danish architect, wins the 1982 competition. Overnight, this 53-year-old man, unknown in France, arrives in Paris where he is propelled at the helm of this pharaonic project. While the architect intends to build the Great Arch exactly as he envisioned, his ideas quickly clash with realistic constraints and the vicissitudes of politics. <b>"One of those rare French filmmakers who can blend suspense with perceptive writing and characterisation."</b> - <I>The Hollywood Reporter</I> Screening as part of <a href = "https://www.glasgowfilm.org/french-film-festival" style = "color:white">French Film Festival.</a></style> French with English subtitles.DramaPT1H44MN/C 15+2025-12-07
