The world famous architect Konstantin Melnikov (1890 – 1974) designed his utopian house, an icon of modern architecture, in the centre of Moscow in the late 1920's. When Joseph Stalin prohibited modern architecture in Soviet Union, Melnikov was denied his right to work as an architect and was in practise placed under house arrest. This film tells the amazing story of the Melnikov House and the fate of an architect imprisoned in his utopian house. (official distributor synopsis)
