Rivers of Babylon Filming Locations
Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is set along the Danube River by the border with Austria and Hungary. It’s surrounded by vineyards and the Little Carpathian mountains, crisscrossed with forested hiking and cycling trails. The pedestrian-only, 18th-century old town is known for its lively bars and cafes. Perched atop a hill, the reconstructed Bratislava Castle overlooks old town and the Danube.
Tatranská Lomnica is a winter sports resort offering slopes suitable for skiers of all abilities, as well as cross-country trails. A cable car travels up to Lomnický štít peak for mountaintop views. Chalet-style hotels fill the area, along with casual pubs and restaurants serving hearty Slovak dishes. In summer, the town is a popular base for hiking and cycling in the High Tatra range.

This tragicomic parable is about the increasing power of an un-educated, ill-mannered and dishonest stoker working at a hotel in Bratislava. Making advantage of the confused political and social situation in the country after 1989 he gradually becomes the most powerful person in the business.
