    • Synopsis
    • `The ultimate goal of an architect is to create a paradise’, Alvar Aalto said.

      After a trip to Finland in 1960, Vicente Saavedra (1937-2021) plans the construction of TenBel, a touristic area in the Canary Islands where he applied some of Aalto's principles. Nowadays TenBel is in complete decline.

      The film repeats that journey to the Baltic country by the hand of poet Alejandro Krawietz, reflecting on the idea of 'dwelling' and looking for the 'paradise' meeting point between the North and the South of Europe.
