“Eight (Восемь)” is a documentary film about the unbearable lightness of being in love in contemporary St. Petersburg, Russia. In the film, eight young women share their intimate thoughts on relationships: how to find and sustain fulfilling relationships, and what is unique about dating in St. Petersburg.
“Eight (Восемь)” focuses on the joys and sorrows of love but also pays an homage to the beautiful metropolis of lights and shadows. St. Petersburg is full of contrasts. The historic city is like a museum–and, at the same time, alive and changing 24 hours a day.
Soundtrack of “Eight (Восемь)” features a host of Russian indie artists, including the post-rock band Echoes And Signals, the black metal band Show Me A Dinosaur, the witch house artist Нии Gulag, the trance artist Lamax, and the composer Kai Engel (Anton Fedchenkov).
