English title: The Great Arch
1983. The biggest architectural competition in history, both anonymous and open, is launched under the impetus of a new socialist president, François Mitterrand. Coveted by all the biggest international architectural firms, the competition is surprisingly won by an unknown: Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, an architecture teacher from Copenhagen. Until then, the fifty-year-old Danish had only built 4 buildings: his home and three small chapels.

**L’Inconnu de la Grande Arche **
1982. François Mitterrand lance un concours d'architecture anonyme sans précédent pour la construction d'un édifice emblématique dans l'axe du Louvre et de l'Arc de Triomphe. À la surprise générale, c'est Johan Otto von Spreckelsen, un architecte danois de 53 ans, qui l'emporte. Il est alors propulsé à la tête du plus grand chantier de l'époque. Et s'il entend bâtir sa Grande Arche telle qu'il l'a imaginée, ses idées vont très vite se heurter à la complexité du réel et aux aléas de la politique.
