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.

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.

[2] The film is dedicated to Andrei Tarkovsky who supported Sokurov morally during his battle against the Soviet censors. [3]
