• The screenplay is based on real events that took place in Vnukovo between 1974 and 1976. A dog left at the airport waited for his owner for several years, greeting every landing IL-18, the plane he had once flown on. In 1976, Yuri Rost wrote an article titled "Two Years of Waiting" about this in Komsomolskaya Pravda.
• A version for Japanese release exists, which includes additional scenes filmed in Akita Prefecture on the island of Honshu with the participation of Japanese actors.
• Over 300 children auditioned for the role of Kolya before the director approved Leonid Basov.
• In the film, the publication from 'Komsomolskaya Pravda' appears not under its original title, but under the heading 'On a Leash Near the Runway' – as an homage to the creators of the television film of the same name from 1989, who were the first to tell the story of Palma.
• Arthur Ivanov appears in a cameo role, introducing himself as: 'Yuri, a journalist.' This is a reference to Yuri Rost, a journalist for 'Komsomolskaya Pravda,' the author of the original article about Palma.
• Rost's famous photograph from the article about Palma was almost completely recreated for the filming of the scene with the journalist.
• In one scene, Palma meets an English Setter, which is later flown away by its owner on a plane. This is a reference to the film "White Bim Black Ear".
• According to director Alexander Domogarov Jr., it was most difficult to film the German Shepherd Lily during the rain. In one scene, she was supposed to lie down and not move, but the rain prevented her from hearing the commands.
