Embankment

The scene was filmed on the Kabardinka embankment, a picturesque spot on the Black Sea coast. The wide promenade is paved with tiles, and along it are well-kept flower beds, palm trees, and wrought-iron lanterns, creating the atmosphere of a cozy resort town. On one side, there is a stunning view of the azure sea, and on the other, there are cafes, souvenir shops, and attractions for tourists.

Courthouse

The atmosphere is strict and official, emphasizing the importance of the trial.
