The film was commissioned by an exhibition of architecture and interior design in Basel to show modernity’s progressiveness in compartison to conservative architecture. Through editing that emphasizes geometry, form, and rhythm, the film shows how many of the works of the interwar avant-garde were made on commission. (Ji.hlava International Documentary Film Festival)
