"The Mies van der Rohes" is a multi-layered portrait of modernity and a moving family saga. Based on private and unpublished archive footage, images and documents, the film tells the story of the iconic architect Mies van der Rohe - from a female perspective.
His wife Ada, his daughters Georgia, Manna and Traudel, and his lover Lilly Reich seize the opportunities of the new era, but also experience the limitations of old patterns. When Mies emigrates to the USA in 1938, they struggle - alone - through the barbarity of the Nazi era and the war.
