A town near Warsaw. A group of teenagers rules one of the courtyards: Ali, Pawik, and Małgośka, the object of both boys' fascination. A few years later, these same young people form a typical youth gang. Ali and Pawik gather around them a group of peers who have been unable to find their place in society and want to live an easy life. Robberies and thefts are their idea of a comfortable existence. A few more years pass and the gang transforms into a mafia. After the 1989 elections, it enters into deals with politicians. It also gets into a conflict with Russian gangsters.
Directed by Jacek Skalski, Private Town leans on a strong ensemble — Bogusław Linda, Maciej Kozłowski, Maria Gładkowska — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1994.
