One spectacular night. Shot in a single spectacular shot. A clock on the wall of a hipster's wine bar reads 10:00 pm – and a night out on the town begins. Inside the bar, a romantic poet, Egan, performs a reading of his latest play. At a nearby table, a young woman struggling to break up with her partner is consoled by her pals. Local dealer, Jiří, enters – full of bravado with a backpack full of drugs. From drama in the bar to an old crowd reveling in the pub across the street, from the apartment of a worried mother to a tram ride with a hooded figure and to a drunken father weaving home on his bike- a single camera shot captures and follows characters in their own worlds as sounds of sirens grow louder. And when a violent street riot erupts, the lives of all intertwine. Anarchy – the ticket for Jiří to host a drug-fueled rage into the dawn, as a poet returns home, unheard. But with this feature debut, an astounding new voice in cinema has been announced.
A graduate of Drama Centre London, where he studied directing based on actor preparation under James Kemp, whose students include Michael Fassbender and Tom Hardy, the Czech filmmaker shot several shorts, a documentary, »Last Witness«, and co-directed »Bez Doteku« in 2013 with 19-year-old Matej Chlupácek – who also produced »Hany« – Samir's stunning feature debut.
