Description:
A futuristic house in Sardinia designed by the architect Dante Bini for film director Michelangelo Antonioni and the actress Monica Vitti, then a couple, in 1969. It was built as a holiday home, but it is now facing inexorable decline. The German director Volker Sattel explores every architectural detail of the building, immersed in the wild scenery of the western coast of Gallura. The film traces the history of the visionary habitation through the narrative voice and memories of Giuseppina Isetta, who watched it being built. La Cupola owes its existence to the innovative Binishell technique, still in use today, which was invented and named by Bini himself. It consists of a single sheet of reinforced concrete, inflated and raised internally by means of compressed air.
