Concrete Love (Die Böhms – Architektur einer Familie)

CONCRETE LOVE is the first and only documentary about one of Germany’s preeminent architects, Gottfried Boehm. Being the only German laureate of the prestigious Chicago based Pritzker Price for Architecture, he is also the patriarch of an architecture dynasty to which his sons Stephan, Peter & Paul belong. But with the death of his wife Elisabeth, a key source of inspiration for all four Boehms, the family loses its emotional lodestone.
