The documentary creates a portrait of the man. A narrative built through variations across his architecture, in which the narrator searches for him, evokes him through his spaces, crossing the threshold between death and life.
Miralles was a complex character, powerful for his artistic and intellectual side, a hypnotic, polyhedral man with many contradictions. A personality that, over the course of time, has become impenetrable. From early in his career he immersed himself in the soul of Barcelona, collaborating on works that today form part of its urban identity, such as the emblematic Plaza de Sants.
His architectural language was clearly defined with its sculptural qualities, tangent curves, asymmetrical structures and steel and concrete transforming into visual poetry - as in one of his most remarkable works, the Igualada Cemetery.
In the 1990’s, along with his partner Benedetta Tagliabue, Miralles architecture started incorporating color as in the gloriously wavy Santa Caterina Market in Barcelona - and with a close tie to the site and the land he build the Scottish Parliament combined glass, wood and concrete in airy and beautiful structures
