Features of the film
According to director Mikhail Kabanov, the multi-part film continues the traditions of Soviet cinema about indestructible male friendship. The plot is to a certain extent unpredictable, there are many non-standard circumstances, chase scenes, hand-to-hand fights, friendship and love relationships. One of the features of the series is a large share of humor and comedy episodes. So the series is unique in its own way and is close to real life. Even the fact that the day before dismissal, colleagues go AWOL is quite a common event in the army.
The shooting took place in the city of Tver. However, viewers drew attention to the fact that the 38th region (Irkutsk region) is indicated in the car numbers. Mikhail Kabanov explained in an interview that the license plates of the Irkutsk region were obtained by the employees of the props group.
Another feature is the city of Novorechensk, where the events of the series take place, not at all a fictitious name. In this settlement (located in Kazakhstan), the author of the script for the film, Murat Tyuleev, was born. This information also became known from Mikhail Kabanov.
The series was shown several times on the country's leading TV channels, which speaks of its popularity. The genre is presented as "crime drama", but very often the action of the film goes beyond the limits defined by genre standards.
At the moment, 16 episodes of the film have been filmed and released. So far, only one season. Each of the 16 parts of the film is approximately 45-50 minutes long.
Moreover, in the last 16 episode for today, the events do not end at all. The plot is becoming more and more intriguing. However, so far nothing is known about the continuation.
