Overview

The film portrays Hanns-Jakob Eckert-Schwegler, a reclusive teacher and architect who transformed an abandoned church into his own architectural work of art. What initially appears to be a classic documentary about his life and work increasingly defies clear categorization. Interstitial spaces open up—places that are neither entirely past nor present. In these liminal spaces, a lonely architect transforms a cultural wasteland into a cinematic space full of transitions, allusions, and visions.
