Set in the present, the four ordinary men in this story find themselves at crossroads in their lives. Karel, Tomas, Milan, and Vinc were once seduced by the possibility of making money in Ostrava's cosmopolitan melting pot. But times are changing - the company has offered their jobs to foreign workers. The friends try to solve their job loss by going into business themselves. But instead of the success they expected, they only sink deeper into debt and go through a number of unpleasant events that testify to their inexperience and naivety. Even their private lives become complicated. Personal crises and an inability to adapt to new conditions are the hallmarks of life in the real world, an environment scarred by existential uncertainty in a once rich industrial city... (official distributor synopsis)

Though, like most contemporary Czechoslovak films, The City of the Sun isn’t about much of anything, it’s at least surprisingly enjoyable and fresh, with a bit of serious drama, great humor and dynamic action. It also has a very good screenplay, directing and cast, and the actors themselves do a fine job (with the exception of Ivan Martinek, who is more confused than his complicated character).
