The Bottomless Sack is based on Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's novella "In the Grove" 

The Bottomless Sack is based on Ryūnosuke Akutagawa's novella "In the Grove," but is set in the times of Russian emperor Alexander II. The maid of honor of the prince's palace tells the prince a fairy tale about the mystical murder of a prince in the forest.

Participants in the event and witnesses of the crime tell different versions of the incident, all of which differ from what really happened.
Also participating in the shoot were: cinematographers Sergei Mokritsky and Shandor Berkeshi, and photographers Georgy Pinkhasov and Sergei Tabunov.
Svetlana Nemolyayeva, lead actress in the film: "My work is what it is thanks to Rustam, because of how he worked, how he saw me, what he suggested and how he achieved the result. I've never done anything like this before, although I have worked with an enormous number of directors in my almost 100 year-old life. The journey that I took with Rustam was significant. This is a new way of looking at a lot of things, primarily, of at Khamdamov. I never once saw him fail personally to set the stage, or to direct or reset the lighting. He has tremendous endurance in the creative process. He is an amazing talent, his creative fire burns bright."
The heroine reads fairy tale No. 295 from The Arabian Nights, "About the Bottomless Sack," hence the title of the film.
