A Trip to the Sun and Back (Season 1)

A Trip to the Sun and Back (2025) is a Russian drama series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Roman Mikhailov. The story spans two eras: a Soviet childhood spent on the road with a con-artist father, and the criminal chaos of the 1990s.

Mark Edelstein, Darya Ekimasova and Fyodor Lavrov lead the cast. As a boy, Ruslan travelled with his parents across the country — his father using the family as cover while running card scams. At a lavish gangster wedding, nine-year-old Ruslan fell hard for the bride. A decade later, in the thick of the nineties, he drifts into crime with his friends — still unable to shake that face.

Mikhailov makes films that sit between genre and art-house; the criminal setting here is texture rather than plot engine. Stream A Trip to the Sun and Back online on iFILM.
