A playful animation of the journey of two male artists and one female artist in the footsteps of Minette de Silva, Sri Lanka’s first female architect, a pioneer of tropical modernism and the first Asian member of CIAM. The filmmakers focused primarily on the process of creating one of the first social housing projects in Sri Lanka. The Watapuluwa housing complex was revolutionary, because its design was created with the involvement of the future residents. A great advantage of de Silva was her ability to listen to the real needs of ordinary people. The documentary sheds light on this forgotten icon and her extraordinary achievements.
