Yolki 9

Yolki 9 (2022) is a Russian New Year comedy with an adventurous streak that you can watch online on iFILM. The ninth chapter of the beloved holiday franchise again braids together several stories from across the country in the final hours before midnight.

The village of Glukharevo turns itself upside down preparing to host a foreign movie star. In Tyumen, a housewife with blogging dreams is determined to win a bet against her husband. In Yekaterinburg, a smitten live-action roleplayer is torn between his family and the call of epic quests. And in St. Petersburg, a young woman gets the marriage proposal she has waited for, only to learn her fiancé is a con artist. By the end, as the Yolki films always promise, every loose thread is pulled into a single knot.

The sprawling cast features Fyodor Dobronravov, Alexey Serebryakov, Elena Zakharova, Yan Tsapnik and Alexander Bashirov. Directors Alexandra Lupashko and Sergey Naumov keep the anthology recipe intact: gentle humor, familiar faces, a last-minute miracle. If switching on a Yolki movie each December is your ritual, the ninth installment delivers exactly that mood. Stream Yolki 9 (2022) online on iFILM.
