About 200 residents of Brest participated in the crowd scenes. They acted as the defenders of the citadel, as the partisans, as the prisoners of war and as the Germans in the movie. International team of professional artists worked together with them on the set.

These are the Great Patriotic War and the tragic episode from the history of modern Azerbaijan - the war in Karabakh.
