The Father

The Father (2026) is a WWII drama you can watch online on iFILM. In 1942, Siberian hunter Gavriil Sobinov learns his son — a young lieutenant — has been listed missing. He volunteers for the front, lands in a supply platoon, earns a transfer to the sniper school in his first firefight, and ends up commanding a group on the forward line.

The film runs a parallel story on the German side: sniper Werner also has a son in uniform, fighting nearby. Director Pavel Ivanov builds the structure as a mirror — two fathers, two armies, a collision that was always coming. The storytelling is measured and the cast restrained; this is a war film that earns its weight slowly rather than pushing for it. Stream The Father (2026) on iFILM.
