Synopsis
Despite the fact, that the process of gentrification is already taking place in many cities in Czech Republic, there is not much public debate on this topic. In Brno, country's second largest city, city quarter Cejl is undergoing the most noticeable change. Also known as "Bronx", "Ghetto" or pejoratively "Gypsy town", Cejl is unique due to its proximity to the centre and a specific atmosphere caused by a rapid change in local population over the last two centuries, varying from peasants, Jews and German citizens, to underprivileged Gypsy minorities and now – gentrifiers. Film will discuss both sides of the debate. The one claiming this process is against the poor and the other that highlights the revitalization of cities. Gentrification also demonstrates the complexity of the modern world.
