Continuity
In the summer of 1933, looking for better opportunities, Irma comes from the countryside to the city to her relative Lonni. Irma is excited about the change of environment, while Lonni is disappointed with city life and sees Irma's arrival as a new freshness for herself. Rudolf, a middle-aged printer, hires young Irma as a maid in his luxurious apartment. The man's charm and mystery fascinate the girl, and pretty soon feelings ignite. They get married, but then inconsistencies in Rudolf's behavior begin to appear, which puts Irma, who dreamed of true love, in an extremely difficult situation.
Third Assistant Camera
"8 views" is an eastern art tradition where one place (primarily the area around Lake Biwa in Japan) is described through eight motifs, among which are scarlet, snow, sailboats returning home in the evening, rain, autumn moon, temple bell, gust of wind, flight of forest geese. These motifs frame eight intertwining tragic love stories, the setting of which are modern Russian fishing villages of old believers on the border of Estonian-Russian settlements and cultures by Lake Peipsi. The spiritualization of everything living and inanimate from Japanese animism, the eroticism of shunga and the humble language of prayer merge into a spiritual and magical world of a small community, where one still believes that one is connected with everything.
