Storyline:
Megalopolis is set in a futuristic version of New York City, where a brilliant architect, bent on reconstructing society, embarks on an ambitious plan to create a utopia. As the world grapples with political and economic collapse, the film explores the tension between idealism and realism, between those who seek to build a new world and those determined to preserve the old one. It’s a film about the fragility of civilization, the power of vision, and the ultimate question of whether humanity can ever achieve true harmony. With sweeping cityscapes, visionary architecture, and a plot that intertwines personal struggles with grand societal shifts, "Megalopolis" is a thought-provoking epic that questions what kind of future is possible.
