Our actors, he and she, from the very beginning, for some reason, let's face it, they didn't like each other. And in the film there is this coldness towards each other, there is no passion and sensuality of lovers, and here it is by the way, here is its own, maybe, additional meaning. In the scene of the last explanation they both stand in white, frontally, motionless, crossed arms across their chests, against a white wall and window with white mist, and this cold sterile whiteness and frozenness, happily guessed by the director, and with him and cameraman German Lavrov, gives the scene some over-the-top meaning. Originally this was filmed on an autumn beach in Tuapse, and we actually traveled for it on purpose, living in an expedition. But already in Moscow, as always, at the last minute Khutsiev decided to re-shoot the scene in a pavilion, leaving only bits and pieces from our expedition, almost without words - and he was right, his intuition does not fail.
