Plot

The Crimean Bridge is being built in Kerch, a city in eastern Crimea, during the summer. Two men at the construction site are pursuing an archeology student named Varya: Viktor, a PR man from Moscow who arrives in a white convertible with an American television crew, and Dima, a young and ambitious builder. Meanwhile, Bernard is trying to accomplish his dream of marrying an American and going to Hollywood.[6]

Cast

Production

Filming took place in the Kerch Strait and on the island of Tuzla on a construction site where the supports and metal spans of the Crimean bridge were being installed.[3] Actors worked close to engineers, installers and welders. Some scenes were filmed alongside residents of the Crimea and the Kuban.[3]

Allegations

In March 2020, opposition politician Alexey Navalny released a video alleging serious corruption during the production of the film by director Tigran Keosayan and writer Margarita Simonyan.[10]

Kazakhstan's cinemas refused to screen this film, calling it propaganda.[11][12]
