About the filming: As critic Alexander Fedorov noted at the time: "The film's cameraman Anisimov works masterfully. The subtle color scheme seems to convey the animation of nature and the sea, the transitions from dreams to reality and back - everything is filmed inventively and tastefully. The only style of the image helps Nikolai Rasheev to use different genres - drama and farce, melodrama and comedy...". In early March 1981, actor Oleg Dal (1941-1981) came to the Kyiv Film Studio named after A. Dovzhenko for a screen test for the main role in the film "Apple in the Palm". I sent a car for Oleg together with my assistant. Suddenly, the assistant on the film calls on the phone in a panic: "What to do? We've been knocking for half an hour! And no one answers! I said: "Break down the door!" They broke it. Dal was dead. I wonder what our viewers think after watching it, share in the comments.
