Production

None of the roles in this movie were played by actors, but rather by veterans, volunteers, and soldiers. One of the main roles was played by Andriy Rymaryk, a former military scout, who went through the war in Donbas and currently works at Come Back Alive, a Ukrainian NGO that helps Ukrainian soldiers through crowdfunding. Paramedic Liudmyla Bileka and volunteer Vasyl Antoniak were also in the film.

Photography predominantly occurred in Mariupol, from January to March 2018.
