Nummer acht, everything is going to be alright

Nummer acht, everything is going to be alright

Nummer acht was filmed in the north of Finland. As he does in most of his works, Guido Van der Werve plays a typical romantic hero: a solitary figure who tempts fate by abandoning himself to the whims of nature. In Number Eight a composed Van der Werve makes his way through an icy landscape, seemingly untouched by the fact that he is followed by a gigantic ship, while the ice is cracking under his feet. His performance is certainly not without danger: only a few dozen metres separate the enormous icebreaker from the artist.
