"There is an amazing mix of genres here,” says the series director Dmitry Laktionov ("Women in Love"). “I have had to film detectives, thrillers and melodramas before, but I am creating such a cocktail for the first time. And all of this is fragments of one big story, the puzzles of which should come together in the finale.”
There will be no time to be bored here either - filming began in the Odessa catacombs, then moved to the Kyiv drainage system (underground channels for draining rainwater). “Montage works wonders,” the director jokes, “we will connect the dungeons in the film, which are located hundreds of kilometers away from each other.”
According to the plot of the film, the main character - Ulyana, a doctor by profession, decided to play a digger - to take a walk through the dungeons. And she went into the catacombs with her childhood friend - an experienced digger. But Ulya got lost and unexpectedly witnessed a murder... She managed to escape, and she got a good look at the bandit, but he didn't see her.
The series is being filmed based on the format “Ringer”, produced by CBS and Warner Bros. Television in collaboration with ABC and Brillstein Entertainment.
