The producer Alexander Rodnyansky has said: "It deals with some of the most important social issues of contemporary Russia while never becoming an artist’s sermon or a public statement, it is a story of love and tragedy experienced by ordinary people[.]" It has been selected to compete for the Palme d'Or in the main competition section at the 2014 Cannes Film Festival.
