1925. International Art Exhibition in Paris. Le Corbusier, the chief architect of the European avant-garde, declares: “...the only thing worthy of attention is Konstantin Melnikov's pavilion”. Since then, the whole world has been following the fate of the Soviet architect. He designs Lenin's sarcophagus, builds garages and clubs, but, most importantly, creates his house. A house that would become the pinnacle of his work, and later a prison for the author himself. The career of the architect will end his student, who issued him a ban on the profession.
