The City (2021)
Klára, Viki, and Mechanik live on the edge of the law. As a junkie, Viki is looking for money for a regular dose, preferably by stealing. Mechanic keeps his distance; he's a dealer but doesn't use. Klára has partially recovered from addiction, but she's homeless, and soon she'll give birth. The turf they run in is ruled by a pair of loan sharks. An ex-boxer and his partner Majk. Their destinies intersect dramatically over 24 hours. And it will cost someone their life.
