Escaping post-war Europe, visionary Hungarian architect László Toth (Adrien Brody) arrives in America to rebuild his life, his work, and his marriage to his wife Erzsébet (Felicity Jones) after being forced apart during wartime by shifting borders and regimes.

On his own in a strange new country, László settles in Pennsylvania, where the wealthy and prominent industrialist Harrison Lee Van Buren (Guy Pearce) recognizes his talent for building and enlists him for a monumental, dream project.

László, sacrificing more and more of himself to complete his exacting vision eventually realises that his dream has come at a dark cost. Director Corbet spent seven years making this ambitious project which received multiple awards at the Venice Film Festival.

Total runtime is 3.5 hours including intermission.
