I Love You, Yakutsk

From dozens of cities, you will always recognize your city – you will recognize it by its squares, by its streets, by its colors, by its breath, by its joys and troubles, and by its love. Four directors will tell four romantic love stories in our city: the love of spouses who have already begun to forget about it; the love of wayward parents for children; the love of life, beautiful and disturbing, and even the love of the very feeling of love. The characters of the film are worried and happy, work honestly, walk noisily and look for love without end. The beating of their hearts is the rhythm of the city. Recognize your city in every frame and look at Yakutsk, which you did not know.

Directed by Alexey Ambrosyev, Mikhail Lukachevsky, Roman Dorofeev, Sergey Potapov, I Love You, Yakutsk leans on a strong ensemble — Roman Dorofeev, Anatoly Kirillin, Aysen Luginov — 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 romance titles of 2018.
