In Moscow, the first episodes of “1703” were presented – a black comedy about two policemen riding around St. Petersburg to the songs of Tanya Bulanova and investigating the case of the disappearance of the corpses of girls from the morgues. Director Sergei Sentsov heartily joked about the images of “textbook” cops. The psychotic captain-stutterer was played by Gosha Kutsenko. His partner is a young actor Kuzma Saprykin.

To convey the gloomy mystical atmosphere, “1703” was filmed at night – 64 shifts. To make it more mysterious, they let in artificial fog.
– I caught a depressive, – Kutsenko does not hide. – I didn’t even celebrate my birthday. I wanted to arrange a big concert, I invited everyone. And then, from two months of endless night shifts and moonlit Peter, I was covered by a gray unpromising. I took the morning train to Moscow on the eve of my birthday and wrote to my director to cancel everything. Slept on my birthday.
Another difficulty for Gosha was to portray stuttering. At first he tried to burr, but his colleagues said that he was getting a bad copy of Ivan Okhlobystin.
The son of the hero Kutsenko was played by Pavel Tabakov. In the story, he is a guy who feels like a transgender woman. Suffering from the tyranny of his father, he gets a job in webcams – for money he fulfills the sexual whims of clients in front of a live camera.
– Initially, I was offered the main role, but I refused, – admitted 27-year-old Pasha. – He said that I want to play another – a transgender person. It is more interesting to work with taboo things, such as obscenity, nudity and sex. But there are big problems with sex in our cinema. Few people know how to shoot it beautifully.
As a result, most of all Tabakov liked to appear in the frame with false breasts.
