Yuspina Kateryna revealed that her (unsimulated) sex scene with Alexey Trifonov was an artistic decision, not hers. "Sex with Trifonov's character is, at first glance, an illogical, but final way to break up with Dau. I had to get out of the unstarted relationship with Dau, without leaving the project [...] These are absolutely orchestrated artistic decisions," she said.
