In the Port of Cape Town (V Keyptaunskom portu...; after the title of a popular Soviet song) is a 2019 Russian drama film directed by Aleksandr Veledinskiy. Three men meet in Summer 1945 on the island of Sakhalin in the Far East. A shootout happens, and each of the trio mistakenly believes that he killed the other two. Fifty years later, events related to that fateful meeting that changed the lives of all three happen in different parts of the world.
Note: there is no ellipsis in the title on the poster, but it is present in the opening credits of the film.
The following weapons were used in the film In the Port of Cape Town (V Keyptaunskom portu...):

Erma EP 652
In the flashback scene that depicts the events of 1945 from Sailor's point of view, the young Sailor (Filipp Ershov) is armed with an anachronistic Erma EP 652 .22 caliber pistol. It may be standing-in for the Walther PPK.
A general view of the scene.
SIG-Sauer P220 Series Pistol
In 1996 Cape Town, Michel (Francis Chouler) carries a pistol of the SIG-Sauer P220 family in a shoulder holster. The pistol is seen only partially, and the exact model cannot be identified.

Assault Rifles
Norinco Type 56-1
Several AK-47s are seen in the scene in Cape Town. They are seen only partially but what is seen allows to identify them as Norinco Type 56-1.

An old Zulu woman Ari (Sylvia Mdunyelwa) loads the AK magazine with specially spoiled cartridges. One of the three AKs (
1) is partially seen at the background right.
Another view of the same scene. The AK on the table (

3) is a different model as it has a kind of muzzle brake (see below for possible identification).
A close-up of the magazine.
Ari loads the AKs. Folding stocks are seen.
An AK is seen in the hands of Pakhan's scion (Darren Amos). The front sight and the muzzle allow to identify it as Type 56.
Unidentified AK
One of the AKs seen in the scene in Cape Town has a kind of muzzle brake that bears resemblance with the ones used on the Bulgarian Arsenal AR-M1/M1F. But it is not seen clearly and proper identification is difficult.
For comparison: Arsenal AR-M1F - 7.62x39mm
The AK leaning against the table (
3) has a kind of muzzle brake similar to the AR-M1. It also seems to have a folding stock.
AKS-74

Saiga MK-03
Two more OMON officers are armed with compact AKs that look most like semi-auto Saiga MK-03 (but also may be airsoft guns that are common in modern Russian films).

Degtyaryov DP-27 - 7.62x54mmR
A DP-27 is aimed at a group of seasoned criminals who refuse to go to front.
Under the death threat, Pakhan prefers to abandon the code of criminals and become a soldier.
Others refuse and are executed.
Trivia
Glock
The film poster shows Gena (Evgeniy Tkachuk) holding a Glock-style pistol. Such a gun isn't used in the film.
The Glock pistol is seen better in the backdrop of the poster.
Mock-up Guns
Stage actors at the rehearsal of Vereshchagin's play hold mockups of the PPSh-41, MP40, and a generic pistol.
An actor in the role of Salazhonok (Nikita Markovskiy) carries a "PPSh", behind him an actor in the role of Pakhan (Andrey Gulnyov) carries an "MP 40".
The MP 40 is seen better. It is less rough than the PPSh.
The wooden barrel of the "PPSh" is seen at the right.
An actor in the role of Sailor (Ivan Baykalov) holds a wooden pistol.
