“The dark heart of the 1970s film noir is still beating – it has simply moved to a new City. The City controlled by the Corporation. The City where all forms of resistance are nothing more than a curiosity. The roles have been assigned a long time ago, and one’s only choice is how one wants to die. Business as usual.“

A genre crime drama, drawing its story and aesthetics from the 1970s neo-noir and conspiracy thrillers. It follows a police investigator who decides to investigate the background of a business deal in which the authorities want to evict and demolish a part of the city with the help of a powerful corporation and build a new construction complex there. The film talks about the will and strength of the individual in the fight against institutions, and about the decisions taken behind the scenes. It questions just how much we can influence the course of history. Matej Nahtigal graduated in graphic and media technology from the University of Ljubljana, and finished the first year of his MA postgraduate course in photography at the University of Sarajevo. After directing the first Slovenian film noir, Case: Osterberg (2015), Matej made his second fiction feature.
