The affair between architect Le Corbusier and American dancer Josephine Baker on a 1929 cruise inspires Gerard and Kelly's new film. The Cité Radieuse, Corbusier's modernist masterpiece is reimagined as a boat floating on the horizon.
Pioneer of modern architecture, Le Corbusier paces in his studio in search of new ideas. In flashes he remembers a brief but intense encounter with Josephine Baker. They meet again on the roof of his most famous building, the Cité Radieuse, summoning a present-day version of Baker's rainbow tribe to dance a conga line as the sun sets over Marseille.
