Enric Miralles is considered an essential figure in contemporary architecture. The documentary aims to portray the man and his complexity. A story constructed in variations through his architectural works, where the narrator seeks him, evokes him in his spaces, crossing the threshold between death and life.
The film Miralles explores the worldview of one of the most important Spanish architects on the contemporary international scene.
Enric Miralles dies prematurely at the age of 45 due to a brain tumor. The following day he is buried in the Igualada Cemetery, his masterpiece: an unfinished forest-cemetery. From that moment on, life and work remain forever intertwined, forming a single narrative.
The film progresses through variations, following the creative method Miralles himself used, inspired by Giacometti: an open search, without possible conclusions.
With freedom of movement through the spaces and corners of Barcelona, the narrator’s voice engages in dialogue with a ghost: seeking him, invoking him, following him through his landscapes, crossing the threshold between life and death.
