Synopsis
A Dog Named Palma (2021) is a Russian family drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Alexander Domogarov Jr. A German shepherd is left on the tarmac of a Soviet-era airport when her owner flies abroad. She won't leave. Every plane that lands, she's there.
Nine-year-old Kolya arrives at the same airport to live with a pilot father he barely knows after losing his mother. The dog becomes his anchor. The film builds three parallel arcs of loneliness — the dog waiting, the boy looking for something solid, the father unsure how to be a father — and braids them into a single impossible choice when the dog's original owner eventually comes back. Starring Vladimir Ilyin and Alexander Domogarov.
Quiet and unsentimental in the best sense. Stream A Dog Named Palma online on iFILM.
