Heat is a 2006 Russian teen romantic comedy loosely based on the Walking the Streets of Moscow, directed by Rezo Gigineishvili and produced by Fyodor Bondarchuk. The story centers on a group of friends and their misadventures in Moscow during a summer heat wave. Heat along with Wolfhound became one of the most expensive Russian films in 2006. Additionally, its budget was one third as compared to the advertising campaign.

Production

Gigineishvili and Bondarchuk used the same young cast and crew from The 9th Company for their film, set in Moscow during a hot boiling summer, which caused as the title Heat instead of the draft entitled "City Tales" ("Сказки города"). Its filming took place in the shortest time period: "the script was written in ten days; pre-production took no more than two weeks; and after four months of shooting, the movie was done."
