The Mies van der Rohes – A Female Family Saga

A female modernist family saga told by the women surrounding iconic architect Mies van der Rohe. His wife Ada, his daughters Georgia, Manna and Traudel and his lover Lilly Reich seize the opportunities of the new age, but also experience the constraints of old patterns. When Mies emigrates to the USA in 1938, they struggle – on their own – through the barbarism of the Nazi era and the war.
