Stories from the set

Filming locations — Moscow, Zhukovsky, Saint Petersburg and Vladimir.

The working title was "Flora's Children".

When creating the character of Pyotr, played by Slava Kopeykin, the creators were inspired by the Joker.

They searched for an actress to play Flora for a very long time. After seeing Viktoriya Isakova in the play "Cosmos" at the Pushkin Theater, the screenwriters and directors Sergey Taramaev and Lyubov Lvova realized they had found her.

Some roles were written for specific actors. Thus, the creators immediately envisioned Sergey Gilev as the engineer Genrikh Pavlovich, Lev Zulkarnaev as the librarian Rodion, and Makar Khlebnikov as Flora's middle son.

In the series, Lev Zulkarnaev reads poems of his own composition.

Kuzma Kotrelev auditioned for another, less noticeable role, but that same evening he was urgently brought back for an audition, this time for the investigator Viktor.
