The First Siza is a documentary about the Four Houses, the first project by Álvaro Siza, designed while he was still a student. Through the reunion, 60 years later, between the architect and Fernando Neto — his first client and owner of one of the houses in Matosinhos — the film reveals how this project was pivotal in Siza’s career and the impact of architecture on people’s lives.
