Short description
Svetlana, young pretty girl, works as a trolleybus driver in a small town and almost all her permanent passengers are at least a little bit in love with her.
What's left behind the scenes
- The film was shot primarily in Odessa, with some scenes filmed in Moscow.
- The opening shots of the film — trolleybuses heading out on their morning routes — were filmed in Moscow, near the 2nd trolleybus depot on Novoryazanskaya Street.
- The trolleybus turnaround loop was filmed in Odessa at April 10 Square. Residential buildings under construction are visible in the frame between Academicheskaya Street and Chernyakhovsky Street.
- Svetlana (played by Irina Gubanova) works on a ZiU-5 trolleybus with fleet number 201. Several vehicles with this number were used for filming in both Odessa and Moscow. Many scenes also feature MTB-82 trolleybuses, and in a number of shots, the MTBES.
- Real drivers and passengers participated in the filming.
