In 1929, Irish designer Eileen Gray created E.1027 on the sun-soaked Côte d'Azur – a bold and hidden gem of avant-garde architecture. This striking house was meant to be a personal refuge.

But when the legendary architect Le Corbusier stumbled upon it, fascination turned to obsession. He covered its walls with his murals, completely disregarding Gray's wishes and her vision. His defiant act ignited a battle for creative control, with Gray demanding restitution for the destruction of her work. He ignored her wishes and instead built his famous Cabanon house directly behind E.1027.

E.1027 – Eileen Gray and the House By the Sea is an unusual hybrid docu-fiction film that tells a story about the power of one woman's creative expression and a man's desire to control it.
