​Release Date: 2016

Production Company: Shalom Eisenbach & David Halperin

Director: Gal Genossar

Genre: Historical Drama

A historical Jewish thriller set in Stalin's Soviet Russia. Based on real historical events. Masha is a local chess champion that has lost her memory. She is being drafted by the KGB to penetrate a Jewish Underground. She is being sent to go through an imposible chess tournement that becomes a battle for her life. Will she become a double agent? The entire film was taken in locations in Ukraine and since the story takes place on the 60s we had to make each location and the set itself is looking authentic. Filming in snow condition has pros and cons. Having light being reflected from the snow helped us get scenes to look majestic. At the same time we had to overcome situations like lenses that are freezing and team members that catch pneumonia.
