The film tells the story of a fictional Russian diving champion and Olympic participant Vlad Fokin, played by Alexander Golovin. The filming process turned out to be a real adventure: it took place in Sevastopol, Yekaterinburg, Moscow, and the Moscow region. Work in Sevastopol was complicated by drone attacks on the city, and transporting filming equipment across the Crimean Bridge caused a lot of anxiety. Despite all the difficulties, the team successfully coped, creating a relevant and exciting movie that touches on important topics for athletes and their coaches.
