La Sagrada Família in Barcelona is a unique and fascinating building designed by Antoni Gaudí. This film, and the history of this building, which has been under construction since 1882 and is today only half finished, is about this mysterious process of “creation,” the question of our human creative power and to what ends we would like to use it.
