Four directors, one roll of 8mm, zero rules — Russian indie cinema at its weirdest.
Short stories shot by four different directors on 8 mm film. The first story by Dmitry Ryabikov is a real field test for a feature which was done as experimental film about the Creation of the World. The second story is an action short by Dorji Galsanov about problems and understanding between two friends. The third one from Anton Bilzho, a teaser for upcoming thriller, is about love to invisible creature. And the fourth story by Anton Sokolov is about love to aliens - a logical final of all parts.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Dmitry Ryabikov's 'Creation' segment was literally a camera test that became art — the feature it was testing never got made.
This emerged from Russia's micro-budget film scene where 8mm revival became a middle finger to digital polish.
