For nearly three decades, a giant 22-ton spherical sculpture created by German artist Fritz Koenig sat in the plaza between the twin towers of the World Trade Center. Miraculously, The Sphere survived the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, its scarred and pitted surface an eloquent silent witness to the tragedy of that day. In this documentary, filmmaker Percy Adlon (SUGARBABY; BAGDAD CAFE), who made two prior films about Koenig, joins the sculptor five weeks after the attacks to view his monumental work amidst the rubble of Ground Zero.
