8 Heads of Madness. Film about Art, about Love, about Freedom. Inspired by an unbelievable fate of the Russian poet Anna Barkova. Soviet Russia, 1921. The young poet Anna Barková is to embark on a starry career, her first collection has just been published and she is believed to become the greatest Russian poet, overshadowing even great Pushkin. A few years later, however, Anna sits in a crowded cattle truck heading for the barren steppes of Kazakhstan. This will not be her only journey and only camp. The poet Anna Barková (1906-1976) spent 22 years of her life in gulags. She survived thanks to her poems, thanks to hope and passionate love for a woman named Valentina.
