Many of our favorite films were shot at the Odessa Film Studio. That is why we decided to shoot a film in the best traditions of our "golden fund" - we wanted to give the audience a good movie for families, a movie about friendship, love and the victory.

Andrey Osipov, the general producer

The authors of the script are Yevgeny Timoshenko and Konstantin Konovalov. The Ukrainian State Film Agency reported that the film already has distributors in Ukraine and abroad. The premiere is also planned to be held in Kyiv, Istanbul, Tbilisi and Odessa.

The release is scheduled for October 2020.
