Irish designer Eileen Gray built a refuge on the Côte d‘Azur in 1929. Her first house is an avant-garde masterpiece. She named it E.1027, a cryptic marriage of her initials and those of Jean Badovici, with whom she built it. Renowned architect Le Corbusier, upon discovering the house, became intrigued and obsessed. He later covered the walls with murals and published photos of them. This unique hybrid docu-fiction is a story about the power of one woman’s creative expression and a man’s desire to control it.
