A few facts about the series
Fact 1. The action of the picture takes place in two capitals, Warsaw and Prague, and.. in Odessa. According to the director, he decided to keep Kyiv for the continuation of the series. And Odessa is a very comfortable city with an atmosphere that is perfect for this story.
Fact 2. The main character, Maria, is an investigator who will represent the Polish side in the series. She chooses her own men and drives a car like a crazy. Also she is the mother of three children. Malgorzata Buchkovskaya, who will play her, in life is the complete opposite of her character. To get used to the role, the actress had to take courses in shooting firearms, hand-to-hand combat and extreme driving.
Fact 3. The main characters do not wear a dummy in a holster, but a real military weapon, albeit inoperative.
Fact 4. There are many stunts in the show, and most of them are performed by the actors themselves.
Fact 5. In one of the scenes of the series, a boat with the naked corpse of a girl was found at the Odessa beach. So that the girl who played the victim did not really go numb (and the shooting took place in late autumn), she was warmed by an electric blanket disguised at the bottom of the boat. But the "heroes" who played tourists on the beach had a hard time - a blanket cannot be hidden in swimming trunks.
Fact 6. In one scene, the hero gets hit on the head with a bat. Of course, blood spatters from a blow of such force that it would have been easy to decide if ... the hero was not bald. There was simply nowhere to hide the "blood". But the stunt coordinators easily solved this problem: the ampoule of blood was hidden in the bit itself.
Fact 7. Five languages ​​sounded on the site, and often in one conversation: Czech, English, Polish, Russian and Ukrainian.
