Before the Flight

Avant l' envol

20th TDF: Greek premiere

A mystical and reflective exploration of the compelling buildings in Abidjan (the former capital of Ivory Coast), which were built in the Golden Age of modernism back in the 1960s, when architecture could still become an earthly expression of Utopia. In the shadow of the futuristic monuments, humans dream of a new form of independence.
