Synopsis
Soavtory (2025) is a Russian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Moscow novelist Igor Angelevsky has just lost his country's biggest literary prize for the third year running. Then, on his way out of the ceremony, someone lifts his wallet.
The thief turns out to be Aldar, a young pickpocket. Out of curiosity he starts reading Angelevsky's novels, falls for them, and talks his way into becoming the writer's apprentice. Played by Egor Koreshkov, the novelist spots a natural storyteller in the street kid — someone with the rough life experience his own pages have always lacked. The two begin writing as a pair, neither guessing how hard that odd partnership will test them.
Director Filipp Lars keeps the film small and talky: it's really about who owns a story once two people have lived it. No flashy set pieces here — just a quiet study of words, vanity and an uneven friendship, best suited to viewers who like character-driven drama. Stream Soavtory (2025) online on iFILM.
