Locations
Central Department Store
In movie
Scene where A group of young people leave a department store, where they are met by Arlecchino and his gang. They interrogate the heroes, scrutinize them (especially valuable things in the form of a player). A girl who clearly knows Arlecchino asks them to stop this confrontation.
Real
Scene was shot Next to Grodno Central Department Store, located on Sovetskaya Street. The Central Department Store is not only a place for shopping, but also a symbol of the era, combining modernity with the spirit of the Soviet time. And nowadays there is a shopping center there, but already without face control in the form of street gangs.
Railroad tracks
In movie
Scene where After the scuffle, with a sense of confidence and victory, the gang steps spiritedly along the railroad tracks into the distance. Laughter and songs fill the surrounding space, and talk of new crimes and plans fills their hearts with even more inspiration.
Real
Scene was shot On the section between Kaplica and Polessky Park stations, near the villages of Putrishki and Malaya Kaplica. The tall buildings of the Azot chemical plant can be seen in the distance. The Kaplica and Polessky Park stations are important transportation hubs, despite their remoteness from major cities. The Kaplica station is often used by commuters traveling inland or to work, while Polessky Park is the starting point for many people heading towards the Azot production plant.
Street
In movie
Scene where The criminal group "The Pack", led by a leader nicknamed "Harlequino", attacks a passerby walking his dog. They mock the young man's physicality and threaten him. The victim takes the dog in his arms and runs away in fear from the group.
Real
Scene was shot On Kaliuchinskaya Street in Grodno, one of the most picturesque and historical parts of the city. The events taking place in the frame emphasize the contrast between the light, almost idyllic atmosphere of the street and the dark essence of the criminal group. The street, with its cozy facades and majestic view of the church of St. František Xaverian, seems to represent calm and harmony. But it is here, amidst this elegance and history, that a confrontation erupts, exposing the stark dissonance between the beauty of the surroundings and the dark actions of the gang.
