White Nights

When night falls on St. Petersburg, there comes a time when it seems that everything freezes. The past, the present and the future exist simultaneously. There are two on the bridge: He is a shy and lonely dreamer, who photographs the city all night long, feels sincere sympathy for strangers, and even houses. She is a delicate girl, in love, her face is light, but tear-stained. Four nights of revelations and romance, sadness and smiles, kisses and embraces. But one day the morning will come.

Directed by Andrey Bogatyrev, Tatyana Voronetskaya, White Nights leans on a strong ensemble — Olga Stashkevich, Dmitry Sergin, Andrey Bogatyrev — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 2017.
