Brno has a magnificent split personality. On the surface, visionary architects built glass-walled utopias of 20th-century optimism. Beneath the pavement lies a darker world. Descend from the airy functionalist villas into the historic core, encounter thousands of forgotten skeletons, enter a classified Cold War bunker, and explore medieval labyrinths. Clara, a design-obsessed skeptic, and Carlos, a passionate historian, reveal the contrast between architectural perfection and the chaotic reality of human survival.
