Trivia

In 2011, in a frank interview, Nikita Dzhigurda talked about Larisa Udovichenko, his partner in this movie. "We were attracted to each other, but I didn't take the first step. I fell into asceticism with a typical Russian passion: I refused fish and meat, meditated for hours and thought about intimacy with a strange woman (Larisa was officially married) only about the fall. Although on the set of lyrical scenes, I did not restrain myself and was not excited in a childish way, which, of course, Larisa could not help noticing. From the wild tension, I got drunk one day after filming and let go of the brakes. We spent the night together, but Udovichenko gave up only in the morning..." - quotes Dzhigurda "Caravan of Stories".

Evgeniy Matveev almost refused to work with the temperamental Nikita Dzhigurda - they also wanted to remove his character from the script. The director's cup of patience overflowed on the set of a love scene with Larisa Udovichenko - the actor attacked his partner with such fervor that the scene lost all lyricism. Dzhigurda refused to do anything else, and Matveev did not want to demonstrate passions. Somehow they came to a compromise, but the director promised to re-sound the actor.
