The two heroes join forces to free themselves and others from serfdom," the film's description reads.

The director of the film, Roman Perfilyev, defined the genre of the film as historical fiction. "This is a new genre. This is not a road movie; three parallel storylines echo each other… This is a movie about the inner transformation of the hero," Perfiliev said.

Shevchenko was played by Roman Lutskyi ("Devoted", "Glare", "Storozhava Zastava"), and Japanese actor Geto San was invited to play the role of a Japanese opium dealer. A team of stuntmen who previously worked on the sequel "300 Spartans" was involved in staging the battles. The film was shot in Kyiv, Chigyryna, and Pirogov.
