Filming

Principal photography began in 2019 and was slated to premiere in the fall of 2020. But due to the pandemic, it was postponed indefinitely. Also, due to the closure of the borders with Japan, the film crew was unable to shoot the frames that were planned according to the script of the film. An interesting fact is that a small part of the filming took place in Moscow at the sports school "Borets", where the casting of actors was also held.


Release

The film premiered in theaters on April 26, 2021. From July 27, 2021, it is available on the online platform.
