Could One Imagine?

Could One Imagine? (1981) is a Soviet romantic drama directed by Ilya Frez that you can watch online on iFILM. Classmates Roman and Katya fall for each other completely — the kind of certainty teenagers mistake for destiny.

What they don't know is that their parents share a history. Roman's father once loved Katya's mother, and when that resurfaces, his jealous mother moves to pull the two apart. Tatyana Aksyuta and Nikita Mikhailovsky make the heartbreak feel earned rather than performed — the film's standing as one of Soviet cinema's most beloved love stories rests entirely on them.

The supporting cast includes Elena Solovei, Irina Miroshnichenko, Tatyana Pelttzer, and Leonid Filatov. Stream Could One Imagine? (1981) online on iFILM.
