From his studio in Poona, Maharashtra, Indo-American builder Christopher Benninger creates geometric architecture that blends Western modernism with the tropical Deccan climate. The film explores eight of his projects through the daily use of their inhabitants. An immersive dive into the world of a giant in the land of all senses.
