The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker (Щелкунчик, 2028) is a Russian musical fantasy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Felix Umarov turns the lens away from the ballet's famous stage and onto the man who wrote its score — Pyotr Tchaikovsky. Svetlana Khodchenkova and Mark Eydelshteyn lead the cast.

Rather than adapting the holiday story itself, the film follows the composer through the doubt and inspiration that produced one of the most recognizable pieces in classical music. An unusual combination — biographical drama with a fantasy register, built for family audiences. Watch The Nutcracker (2028) online on iFILM.
