En la Ciudad de Sylvia/Dans la Ville de Sylvia (English: ''In the City of Sylvia'') is a 2007 film directed by José Luis Guerín.
Almost entirely devoid of dialogue, the film follows a young man credited only as 'El'[1] (English:'Him') as he wanders central Strasbourg in search of Sylvia, a woman he asked for directions in a bar several years before.
