Synopsis
Wanna Be Happy? (Klinika Schastya, 2021) is a Russian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Dr. Alyona Lipnitskaya runs a clinic that fixes private lives instead of blood pressure: her team treats the kind of trouble patients won't admit to even in the dark.
Alyona is fifty and passes for thirty-five — living proof of her own method. People come to her when their health and their relationships turn out to share a single root in intimacy gone wrong. She's convinced she has happiness solved by formula, right up until her own well-ordered life cracks all at once and puts the clinic, her marriage and her certainty about any of it on the line. Daria Moroz leads, with Anatoly Beliy, Anna Ukolova, Maxim Lagashkin and Artyom Tkachenko around her.
The series tackles a subject Russian television usually tiptoes past, and it does so without smut and without primness — playful one minute, raw the next. Daria Moroz keeps her heroine balanced on a knife's edge between self-assurance and panic. A good fit for viewers who like grown-up relationship dramedy where the funny and the painful share a scene. Stream Wanna Be Happy? (2021) online on iFILM.
