Therefore, several members of the film crew were evacuated to Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk so that they could finish the picture there. The premiere of the film took place on August 24, 2023.
«We had 100 shooting days, but they stretched for 3.5 years, due to the pandemic and a full-scale invasion, the premiere was postponed. Despite this, the film has already gathered more than 500,000 viewers in cinemas, the film has been purchased and is being shown in 27 countries of the world, and the money spent on filming has already returned,» says Oles Sanin.
Ukrainian actor Oleksii Hnatkovskyi emphasized that all Ukrainians must fight for victory.
«We must understand what messages we are sending to society, and those people who are heard in society must convey to everyone that Ukraine must fight as a whole. No one should wait, all Ukrainians should fight for our identity. Victory begins with each of us,» he added.

«I wanted to create a story so that a huge number of viewers fell in love with Ukrainian heroes. I wanted the children to love and appreciate our Ukrainian heroes, and to start playing Kotygoroshko and Oleksa Dovbush. It was important to me that the people sitting in the hall and watching this film should be proud that they are also Ukrainians,» said the director.
