“The Harvard Five” as they became known –Philip Johnson, John Johansen, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes and Marcel Breuer– were fueled by a sense of hope and optimism in the wake of WWII, but their modern ideals and avant-garde designs were snubbed by the locals in this traditional town who did not understand these pioneers –or their ”Kleenex box” houses. Nevertheless, the Harvard 5 found New Canaan’s wooded, rolling hills to be the perfect canvas for experimentation with Bauhaus ideals in design and architecture. From there, they triggered an intellectual movement that not only changed the landscape of this New England community forever, but would resonate worldwide.

A documentary about the making of David Fincher's 2008 film THE CURIOUS CASE OF BENJAMIN BUTTON. Virtually every element in the evolution of the Fincher's film is documented here, from the project's attachment to numerous other directors during the 1990s, to its shoot in 2006 and 2007 in New Orleans, to its complex, CGI-intensive postproduction process.
