Město

The story takes place over 24 hours in Prague. Klára, Viki, and Mechanik live on the edge of the law every day. Viki, a drug addict, is looking for money for his regular fix, preferably through theft. Mechanik keeps his distance; he is a dealer and does not take drugs. Klára has partially overcome her addiction, but she is troubled by the absence of a home. She is about to give birth. The neighborhood where they all live is controlled by a pair of enforcers: a former boxer and his partner Majk. Their fates will dramatically intersect during the course of the day. And it will cost someone their life.

Directed by Jiří Diviš, Město leans on a strong ensemble — Veronika Divišová, Oskar Hes, Jarek Hylebrant — 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 drama titles of 2021.
