The first Russian documentary film, shot in 2016 in virtual reality format, is about the ascent to the highest point in Europe.
Elbrus VR is a contemplative reflection on why people strive for the summits despite the harsh living conditions in the mountains. Every year, hundreds of people come to Elbrus to reach the top of this volcano. What makes them endure fatigue and pain, the absence of comfort, and harsh weather? Why, despite all the difficulties that await the travelers at every step, do people still strive for the summit, even if they only stand there for a few minutes after hours of exhausting journey? To answer these questions, the viewer will have to make their way to the top along with the film crew.
