Grand Arch - Kino Konesera

A moving and humorous true story with a stellar cast. In 1982, anonymous lecturer and middle-aged fishing enthusiast Johann Otto von Spreckelsen sensationally wins the most important architectural competition in the world. Now, before the eyes of the whole world, he will forge his magnum opus — the “new Arc de Triomphe”, a symbol of progress, fraternity and the emerging era of peace. However, not only his own uncompromisingness and perfectionism will stand in his way, but also political pressures and bureaucratic machinery. The cast includes the one-of-a-kind Xavier Dolan, the magnetic Swann Arlaud (lawyer from “Anatomy of the Fall”) and the explosive Claes Bang (“The Square”).
