Aalto is a documentary film journey into the life and work of one of the greatest modern architects, Alvar Aalto. The film shares for the first time the intimate love story of Alvar and his architect wife, Aino Aalto. It takes the viewer on a cinematic tour to their creative processes and iconic buildings all over the world.
We visit their most beautiful buildings in Finland, a library in Russia, a student dormitory at MIT, an art collector´s private house near Paris – and many other unique places. We learn about the colourful history of modernism and meet along the way the Rockefellers, Le Corbusier, and László Moholy-Nagy.
Great tragedy struck Alvar with Aino´s premature death. He eventually got married again to another architect, Elissa Aalto, and had one his most significant
professional periods in the 1950s.
This charming documentary organically combines entertainment and knowledge, contemporary film material and rare unforeseen footage. We hear the
protagonists talking intimately in their love letters and see Alvar´s heartbreaking drawings of his wife on her deathbed. The film is based on profound research and
narrated by the eyewitnesses and top researchers from all over the world.
