To everyone's surprise, Otto von Spreckelsen, a Danish architect, wins the competition. Overnight, this 53-year-old man, unknown in France, arrives in Paris where he is propelled to the head of this pharaonic construction site. And while the architect intends to build the Grande Arche exactly as he imagined it, his ideas will very quickly run up against the complexity of reality and the uncertainties of politics.
