INTERESTING FACTS
Except for four characters, all the roles in the film were played by amateur actors.
Despite the 10-day quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic, we successfully adhered to our planned budget and schedule. Filming took place in 4 cities: Karaganda, Temirtau, Merke, and Moscow.
One of the locations was an actual field of cannabis, the permit for which was coordinated with the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Republic of Kazakhstan for 3 months.
The film changed the fate of our amateur actor, who after completing the project got into the VGIK’s renowned workshop of Sergei Solovyov.
