City Where Money Does Not Circulate

A great reckoning in a small town. A town without a name. A town not on the map. A town with its own rules. A town without access from the outside. A town with secrets not available even to those 'living' there. How long? Suddenly a time warp, an accident of fate and then unexpectedly the appearance of a woman from beyond. Then it begins. The hidden ways of the town start surfacing. Although no way out of the town, the arrival of Alice puts the town's ways to a test.

Directed by Ganna Tretiak, City Where Money Does Not Circulate leans on a strong ensemble — Karyna Melnychenko, Ihor Ciszkewycz, Andriy Tsyshkevych — 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 2018.
