Roger D'Astous is one of the most important Canadian architects of the twentieth century. A student of Frank Lloyd Wright, he fought all his life to create northern architecture. Author of many Montreal landmarks from Expo 67 to the 1976 Olympic Games, his residences are sensual vessels and his churches sumptuous spaceships. Once starchitect of the sixties, he then fell from grace before rising again at the dawn of the century. For the first time on-screen, this film embarks on a journey throughout the exceptional projects of Roger D'Astous. An epic journey with a modern architecture giant.
