After believing that this was the very beginning of the amazing and spectacular series of "City of Men" and the following buddy film "City of Men" (2007) I decided to do some research on what started it all and unsurprisingly i found that this film is in no way related to "City of Men" from Brazil. Besides having the same name and the wrong picture posted on this site "City of Men" (1988) is not related to "City of Men" (2007) This film is set in a futuristic a world where men and women have been separated by civil war, leaving procreation to test tubes and medical science. Roy, a young boy, discovers a photograph of a woman, a creature he has never seen before. The image he holds brings out feelings he has never experienced and questions he searches to answer. He quest takes him to his father, to an underground cabaret and ultimately, face to face with the unknown.
