Haus Tugendhat

Haus Tugendhat is a documentary that tells the story of a remarkable modernist building in Brno, Czech Republic, and its fascinating history. Designed by architect Mies van der Rohe, the house embodies the social utopian ideals of its time and the cosmopolitan lifestyle of its wealthy owners. The film takes us on a journey through the ups and downs of the building's past, from its origins in the prosperous interwar period, to its occupation by Nazi Germany, the Tugendhat family's exile in Switzerland and Venezuela, and its later use as a dance and rhythm institute. The film also explores the house's transformation into a therapy center and school for children with spinal cord injuries, and its unique place in communist Czech society as a social oasis for those with disabilities. Through the story of Haus Tugendhat, we gain insight into the aspirations and challenges of modernist architecture and society, as well as the enduring spirit of human resilience and creativity.
