Lapin

Lapin (2024) is a Russian coming-of-age drama you can watch online on iFILM. When his parents split up, fifteen-year-old Valya Lapin is dragged off to a small provincial town with his mother, where nothing feels like his.

So Valya decides to wait it out. Finish the school year, let no one get close, and in summer move to his father in Canada and a life that finally counts. The one thing he allows in is running — out on a track it's easier to outpace whatever sits inside him. Slowly, though, the town, his classmates and a first crush stop being mere scenery for the wait. Directed by Vlad Krasnoslobodtsev and Asya Oleshkevich and starring Ivan Dobronravov and Taisya Kalinina, it's a quiet study of how hard the present is when you've already left for the future.
