Czech Republic | 2019 | 52 min.

In July 1932, a man who shod the entire world died in a plane crash. The Tomas Bata Memorial was opened a year after the factory owner's death. The building was designed by architect Frantiaek Lydie Gahura to express generosity, clarity, enthusiasm, optimism and simplicity. These were the main characteristics of Tomas Bata according to Gahura. The film focuses on the fate and transformations of the monument, from the violent ideological rebuilding into the House of Arts, to the current reconstruction that restored the building to its original appearance and purpose.
