Laagna tee (Laagna road)
Probably the most exciting, keeping in suspense, epic scene in the whole movie!
Laagna road is a busy freeway that connects the city center with, once a model Soviet micro-district mostly built in the 1970s and 1980s, Lasnamägi. While filming the spectacular scene of time-bending car chase, almost entire road was closed to traffic.
