Production

Alexei Popogrebski stated in making the film, ever since he was a child, he has been fascinated by the diaries of polar explorers. Their ability to come to terms with the monstrous vastness of time and space amazes him. The story of two men living and working in complete isolation slowly developed inside of him over the years. After completing two features, Popogrebsky felt he was ready for this challenge.

The main location for filming was the Valkarkay polar station on the Chukchi Sea in Arctic Russia. Alexei Popogrebski intended it was clear that the film had to merge entirely with the actual, real setting. He did some research and found the Valkarkai polar station on the northernmost tip of Chukotka. Popogrebsky states in his interview with the Russian Magazine: Action, “if you look at the map, it is literally the end of the world”.

After Popogrebski came back from the location scouting, he proudly showed this place on the map to Sergey Puskepalis, who starred in his previous movie, Simple Things, and for whom he wrote one of the two parts in the new script. Puskepalis looked at it and then stated matter-of-factly: ‘I lived near there for nine years’. When Puskepalis was a child, his parents worked at a nuclear plant in Chukotka.
