PREVIEW

Seventy years ago, when architect Le Corbusier designed the city of Chandigarh, it was a time of turmoil, relocation and the partition of India. Chandigarh symbolized progress as well as the emergence of democracy. Le Corbusier envisioned a city which would embrace humanity and justice and foster harmonious interaction between its inhabitants and the natural surroundings. This film follows individuals immersed in the city’s cultural and artistic realms, contemplating Le Corbusier’s legacy, and the cultural disparities between the East and West as the city has forged its own unique identity. This is a captivating, authentic and exhaustive portrait of Chandigarh, bringing a fresh perspective on the architect and his vision.
