Trivia
It all started when a British producer proposed a project with four films made by four different directors, all touching upon the topic of apocalypse. For about a month, director Andrei Zvyagintsev and screenwriter Oleg Negin looked for a plot and found “two or three curious concepts,” but then Negin phoned Zvyagintsev one night and suggested they should meet. At the meeting, he told Zvyagintsev almost the complete plot of the future film. The story is based on an incident from Negin’s life.Connections
