Synopsis:
When estranged father, dreamer, and visionary architect Glen Howard Small bequeaths his daughter the task of writing his biography, she answers instead with a provocative film about his precarious career and thorny private life. At 31, Small was a rising star. At 61, he can barely pay his bills. Filmmaker Lucia Small digs deep to explore the delicate tension between her father's obligations to family and his long passion to "save the world through architecture."
