Dad Croaked on Saturday

Dad Croaked on Saturday (2025) is a drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Zaka Abdrakhmanova. Aiko is thirty, lives in Moscow, and hasn't spoken to her father in years — he was controlling and cold, and she'd made peace with that. When he dies, she doesn't feel grief. She goes to Kazakhstan for the funeral anyway, for reasons she couldn't fully explain.

She walks into a family she barely knew existed: a sister who picks a fight immediately, a brother who seems to live on his own frequency, and a stepmother her own age. What throws her most is realizing that these people loved her father. That to them, he was someone else entirely — generous, present, reliable. Laura Tursunkanova and Samal Yeslyamova lead the cast.

The film doesn't offer a resolution to that contradiction. It lets Aiko sit with the discomfort of grieving someone she never stopped being angry at, and that choice makes it feel earned. Watch Dad Croaked on Saturday (2025) online on iFILM.
