Synopsis
2002, Palm Springs, California: an incredible architecturally designed house is bulldozed to the ground by an individual who had just bought if for $2.45 million. Built in 1962, this "modernist jewel" was conceived by Richard Neutra to house a large art collection. By delving into Neutra's interest in psychoanalysis and into the rumors of the buyer's enacting a personal vendetta, the film investigates our desire to protect and destroy beauty.
