The Family Man

The Family Man (Семьянин, 2019) is a Kazakh comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Mukhtar is past forty with a full hand: steady job, a mortgage, a family, a line of credit. He blames it all on marrying young — convinced the right life was waiting on the other side of that decision. Then the universe takes him at his word: he wakes up wealthy, successful, and completely alone.

No wife, no kids. His best friend now runs the household Mukhtar left behind. Directed by Farhat Kulbayev — tagline: "Be Yourself" — the film is a warmhearted Kazakh take on the wish-fulfillment comedy: the payoff arrives exactly when expected and lands cleanly. Starring Abunasyr Serikov. Stream The Family Man (2019) on iFILM.
