Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The 'Locust Generation' label sparked debate in Russia about entitled post-Soviet youth. The film weaponizes this discourse into genuine tragedy.
Paulina Andreeva and Pyotr Fyodorov began dating during production and married shortly after—making their on-screen destruction of each other even more unsettling to watch.
