This film was Sokurov's first feature at Lenfilm.It was roughly based on a short story by the contemporary Soviet writer, Grigory Baklanov.Baklanov asked that his name be removed from the credits because the only motif that was adopted from Baklanov's work was the scene of the transitional period from power to subordinance.
For the film, Sokurov, as often, selected a single motif from the work of inspiration – in this case, it was the sickness of a woman. It was produced as the graduation work of S. Sidorov from the VGIK. At that time Sokurov was not allowed to work on his own films, and saw this as an opportunity to continue work in the field.
In his diary, Sokurov noted that in Platonov, he saw the "story of a 'weak heart', for which happiness was 'hard work'."
