Synopsis
Intercessors (2020) is a Soviet-era legal drama you can watch online on iFILM. Moscow, 1966: the Thaw is ending, the state is tightening again. Young defence attorney Nina Metlitskaya, played by Marina Vorozhishcheva, lands a position at Filial No. 1 — the most powerful law firm in the USSR. She arrives knowing she has something to prove.
Her client list is a cross-section of the Brezhnev years: a crime boss, an underground factory owner who quietly made millions, a music enthusiast charged with espionage, a film star accused of killing her partner, and a succession of dissidents. Each case is less a legal puzzle than a confrontation with the machinery of the Soviet state itself. The cast includes Kirill Grebenshchikov, Viktoriya Verberg and Maxim Vitorgan, directed by Vladimir Kott.
A courtroom procedural on the surface; a portrait of what it cost to defend someone in that particular decade underneath. Stream Intercessors (2020) online on iFILM.
