The film chronicles the architecture competition that explored the creative potential of the ancient Jewish sukkah and created a temporary exhibition of 12 radically designed sukkahs in the heart of New York City. Best-selling author Joshua Foer thought, what if contemporary architects and designers were challenged to design and construct twelve radical sukkahs? The film explores the artistic process of architects, documents how an ancient building was reinvented for the 21st Century, and reveals how there is a good story behind all interesting architecture.
