Plot

Set against the backdrop of the enchanting Prague, On the Roof (2019) follows the story of Song, a 20-year-old Vietnamese immigrant who envisioned a brighter tomorrow in Europe. Unfortunately, his dreams are shattered when he ends up ensnared in a marijuana grow house, living a life akin to modern-day slavery in Prague's Vietnamese district. The gripping narrative takes a turn when the police raid his hideout, resulting in Song's escape to the rooftop of a nearby condominium. On this very rooftop, the tale intertwines with that of Mr. Rypar, a 78-year-old man who finds solace in the past and holds a deep-seated aversion to the modern world. Living a solitary life, Rypar ascends to the rooftop only to find Song, teetering on the brink of the roof, his tears mingling with the rain. The encounter sparks the commencement of a poignant story that explores the human spirit's resilience. On the Roof (2019) invites viewers on a journey of despair, hope, and unexpected companionship stitched together against the contrasting backdrop of old and new worlds.
