Scenes from "My Architect"

The legacy of a renowned architect reveals how the pursuit of artistic greatness can enrich a nation while leaving personal relationships unfinished. A monumental building in Bangladesh, constructed over 23 years and largely by hand, stands as testament to both vision and loss. The creator never saw its completion, reflecting how life's most meaningful achievements are often touched by accident and circumstance. Through emotion-driven storytelling, the film explores the tension between public legacy and private love.
