A sociologically focused documentary about life in the Na slatinách shantytown on the borders of Prague’s Michle, Záběhlice and Strašnice districts, built during the First Republic on meadows and marshes, which still exists today without running water or sewerage and is largely ignored by the authorities. The narrative is based on the testimonies of long-time residents, some of whom would prefer to move to more civilised surroundings, while others are content with the rural character of this remote location. The film is a second-year documentary project.
