Carpenter

Carpenter (2022) — watch online on iFILM — is a Russian family drama directed by Avdotya Smirnova, starring Sergei Umanov, Anna Rytsareva and Alexei Filimonov.

The Osipovs are an ordinary family from Ulyanovsk — father, mother, young son. They love each other and have plans. Then the boy falls seriously ill. What follows is the kind of crisis families rarely talk about openly: losing the apartment, months of hospital corridors, the point where even the mother runs out of strength. The father doesn't. He's a carpenter from the provinces, and he doesn't explain where his endurance comes from — he just doesn't stop.

Smirnova directs without consoling arcs or rallying speeches. Just one man holding on. Stream Carpenter online on iFILM.
