Quite boring. It is not a documentary but a video that displays tons of beautiful desktop wallpapers.
Plot summary
Temporality and age are inherent in every object and creature and, depending on one's outlook, may transcend to infinity. How can this be imagined? What goes beyond it? The filmmaker Christoph Schaub starts his personal journey through time and space in his childhood, when his fascination with sacred buildings began - and his wonder at beginnings and ends. Schaub explores, together with the architects Peter Zumthor, Peter Märkli and Álvaro Siza Vieira, the artists James Turrell and Cristina Iglesias and drummer virtuoso Jojo Mayer, the magic of sacred spaces, defined here as far more than church buildings. Who owns spirituality? The film follows "spiritual life" in architecture and the fine arts, but also in nature, and literally lifts it over and above the limits of thinking. A slightly floating camera immerses us in somnambulist images, takes us on a sensual and sensing journey through vast spaces, and guides our eye towards the infinity of the starry sky and the depths of the ocean. Past and present, primeval times and light years, it's all there.

Boring
Misguided by shallow portentiousness and 'Concept' Architecture
Great topic, wretched film. The amazing work and person of Álvaro Siza Vieira and the very worthwhile work of Peter Zumthor occupy less than 20 minutes of this this film. The rest is sloppy, narrow, and indulgent film making overwhelmed by essentially trivial narrative and the excessive rationalizations of Peter Markli.
