At the end of the 1960s, when there was still a future, Oscar Niemeyer, living in France, designed the headquarters of the French Communist Party. Sasha Pirker´s film studies the relationships between this building, with its futuristic qualities, and the contemporary situation of political projects, economic realities and aesthetic attitudes. The cinematic means employed are chosen so as to provide various ways of viewing this unusual building as a physical space, an institution or a historical document, thus looking into its aesthetic effect, its practical use or its political and symbolic meaning.
