Riche en images inédites, le documentaire raconte la vie étonnante de l’Américain Frank Lloyd Wright (1867−1959), l’un des grands maîtres de l’architecture contemporaine. Il aura survécu aux scandales, aux drames, aux incendies, aux divorces, aux faillites et au mépris social. Avec le musée Guggenheim de New York et son illustre réalisation en Pennsylvanie, la résidence Fallingwater construite au-dessus d’une cascade, il a signé de nombreux projets architecturaux iconiques. « Je suis le plus grand architecte qui ait jamais vécu », a‑t-il affirmé un jour. Il ne faisait aucun compromis, ni dans sa vie professionnelle ni dans sa vie privée. Il a cherché et trouvé son éthique dans la nature. Selon lui, le style d’une maison doit être organique, comme si elle était naturellement apparue dans un environnement donné. Dans ce documentaire étoffé, les entrevues ont été filmées à l’intérieur même des édifices conçus par Wright.
