Sigurd Lewerentz is one of the most famous Swedish architects, considered a master of the profession internationally. His unique solutions were decades ahead of their time. 

Lewerentz did not want to be filmed or interviewed. His person, like his buildings, is surrounded by a mysterious aura.

But in a root cellar in Lund, there is an unknown treasure. Film reels and audio tapes recorded by the architect Bernt Nyberg with Lewerentz during his last years are stored here. From the cellar, a cultural-historical journey begins, where the stylistic traces of Lewerentz within Nordic architecture become palpable.

Classicism and modernism converge in a poetic brutality that awakens our deepest and most archaic cultural memories.
