**********************************************

The shooting was held in 2003, in Saint Petersburg, Moscow, Israel (Eilat city).

Initially the film was given a name “semidesiatniki” (“people of 70th”)

Twelve different actors perform the four main characters in their different ages, but the most tragic periods fell to the lot of Anna Samokhina, Ilya Shakuniv, Aleksey Fedotov and Mikhail Vasserbaum.

The students of Theater Academy perform young Sam, Sasha, Maks and Masha. They were chosen according to the appearance of the “grown-up” actors. Alexandra, the daughter of Anna Samokhina made her debute in this film, playing Masha in youth. It was easy to find the similarity between actors, but more complicated was to turn Moscow of a present day into Moscow of 70th years. The action takes place in Moscow, but the capital has changed much during last years and it would be hard to find a place without advertisement hoarding, illumination and buildings made of glass and concrete. The producer decided to shoot all the original episodes in Saint Petersburg, and then to correct graphics on computer, adding some pieces of Moscow views – like Robert Zemekis in «Forrest Gump» made it. This is usual in Hollywood but it was one of the first experiences in the Russian cinema.

They added university building, a sculpture of kolkhoznik and the Kremlin to the view of Saint Petersburg.

It was made so considered and delicate by the specialists from “Begemot” computer company, - said Dmitry Svetozarov, - I think that Moscow citizens will not find it easy to determine the place of any episode in Moscow”.

Reputation and producer image of Dmitry Svetozarov allow him to offer “small parts” to the well-known actors. Olga Volkova, Leonid Nevedomsky, Era Ziganshina, Vadim Yakovlev perform small episodes in the series “The three colours of love”.
