Notes
The film was initiated by Nazariy's daughter, singer Maria Yaremchuk. In the summer of 2021, the singer shared this idea with the tandem of producer Maksym Serdiuk and director Artem Hryhorian (KNIFE! Films studio{{Cite web |title=KNIFE! Films {{!}} Ukrainian production company |url=https://www.knifefilms.com/en |access-date=2025-04-16 |website=www.knifefilms.com |language=en}}). Since then, they have been actively working on collecting information, studying archives, searching for characters and working on the script. The filming of interviews began in September of the same year, and the on-location filming in the Carpathians took place in the spring of 2022, after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine had begun.
«The idea arose before the full-scale invasion. It was inspired by the fact that the eyewitnesses and creators of the foundations of the Ukrainian-language pop and stage music scene are not eternal, no matter how it may sound... We need to know our heroes by sight, and now it's starting to become mainstream, which is very cool,» says Maria Yaremchuk.Members of the iconic Smerichka band, including Levko Dutkivsky, joined the project and provided in-depth comments on Nazariy's personality. His wife, Daryna Yaremchuk, shared her memories of her husband and spoke about her marriage to a romantic hero who had millions of fans around the world. The film also includes the opinions and stories of his close colleagues, recognised cultural experts and music critics.
In the process of creating the film, the creators also used the performer's family archives (photo albums and videotapes), the archives of the film's characters, as well as materials stored in the Central State Audiovisual and Electronic Archive.
The film is named after the song «An Incomparable World of Beauty», which was written in autumn 1969 especially for Nazariy Yaremchuk by composer Levko Dutkivsky and poet Anatoliy Fartushnyak. The song became Nazariy Yaremchuk's first musical recording and was included in three albums by Nazariy and the Smerichka band. Along with «Chervona Ruta» and «Vodohrai» songs, Yaremchuk considered it the most significant song in his career.

Nazariy Yaremchuk
Nazariy Yaremchuk is a pop singer, Hero of Ukraine, an exceptional personality whose voice spread Ukrainian culture around the world. He is perhaps the only representative of the Ukrainian pop scene of the Soviet period whose work was recognised around the world: he toured with the «Smerichka» band even during the so-called Iron Curtain.
«Nazariy Yaremchuk is a personality who went his own way and made Ukrainian songs fashionable throughout Ukraine and the world. His entire life was intertwined with the fundamental events of our country. That's why this film is also about the history of Ukraine and the music scene of the 1970s and 1980s. I really want as many people as possible, even more young people, to watch it and understand the legacy the artist left behind. Something can be fashionable or relevant for a certain period, but Nazariy Yaremchuk, his personality and music are timeless,» says Maksym Serdyuk{{Cite web |date=2021-11-09 |title=Максим Сердюк: Біографія, досьє, фото Максим Сердюк |url=https://forbes.ua/profile/maksim-serdyuk-607 |access-date=2024-07-10 |website=forbes.ua |language=uk}}, producer of the film «Yaremchuk: An Incomparable World of Beauty».
