April 15, 2019, the world holds its breath: Notre-Dame de Paris, France’s leading monument to which 13 million visitors flock each year, is in flames.
The attic, the wooden roof, and the spire by the architect Viollet-Le-Duc are collapsing. But in the midst of this nightmare, a miracle occurs: This masterpiece of Gothic architecture of 5,500m2 finally stands firm.
With the help of unpublished archives, interviews with top experts, reconstructions, and computer-generated images, this film will unlock the secrets of Notre-Dame’s construction, the techniques invented and deployed by its builders, the threats it has faced over nearly nine centuries, and the plans for its future renovation.
