For the first time, the artist Shaburov appeared in a film.
Art school students were sent to Leningrad for museum internships in the winter—essentially, to sightsee at museums. On his way back, Shaburov was waiting for his flight at Pulkovo Airport when he saw a film shoot happening there.
Lenfilm boasted a great tradition of shooting on real locations with real people, and Shaburov managed to get involved.
A glamorous actress was supposedly meeting a flight from Sofia.
The extras were directed:
«Bulgarians, let’s go!»
Suddenly, an uncle with an infant appeared out of nowhere, and the police arrested everyone.
Shaburov was quite surprised when, a year later, he went to a film set and discovered he was involved in shooting Dinara Asanova’s well-known film, «My Dear, Beloved, Only One.»
The plot is as follows: the heroine steals a child to deceive her wealthy lover. A chance driver is unaware of this, drives her to the airport, and engages her in deep conversations about life.
In truth, by staring into the blurry background, Shaburov could barely make out only the top of his own head.
