## Description

Visionary ideas, a radical new beginning, and the question of the true cost of success: THE BRUTALIST tells the epic story of the Jewish-Hungarian architect László Toth, who after the horrors of the Second World War risks everything to rebuild his life in the USA. 
On the foundation of pain and loss, Toth finds in the cold and powerful force of Brutalism the artistic expression for his torn soul. His architecture is as uncompromising as he himself, driven by the unrestrained will to shape the world - even if his most important work could prove to be his greatest curse.
