The visionary Jewish-Hungarian architect László Toth (Adrien Brody) and his wife Erzsébet flee Europe to rebuild their heritage. On a foundation of pain and loss, Toth finds artistic expression for his torn soul in the cold and powerful force of Brutalism. His architecture is as uncompromising as he is, driven by an irrepressible will to leave his mark on the world - even if his most important work could prove to be his greatest curse.
