Gypsy (Season 1)

Gypsy (1980) is a Soviet TV series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexander Blank, with Mikhail Volontir and Klara Luchko in the lead roles.

During the war, a village woman named Klavdiya finds a small Gypsy boy beside a wagon wrecked by German tanks. She raises him as her own. Sixteen years later, a lone Gypsy named Budulay arrives in the village — quiet, worn by the road, but immediately at ease with her adopted son. Klavdiya suspects who he is. She also knows that saying it out loud could unravel the family she spent years building.

The series works as a love story and as a quieter study of belonging — who counts as family, and what holds people together across a divide the world around them insists is too wide. Volontir carries the screen without saying much; Luchko matches him step for step. Stream every episode of Gypsy (1980) online on iFILM.
