O Desengajado

It is 1945, immediately after the liberation. As an antifascist, Scarpa is invited to take part in a demonstration of left-wing architects. He listens to populist speeches calling for trade-union struggle, team planning and collective work. All at once he asks to be allowed to speak, stands up, and says, 'my sole aspiration is to find a Pharaoh who will allow me to build a pyramid'. General frigidity. He leaves the room.
