Synopsis
"Sidney Lumet's Day of Birth" (2026) is a Russian drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Raul Geidarov. Seventeen-year-old Dato lives with his grandmother in Georgia — the two of them, the surviving pieces of what was once a full family. They have found a way to coexist. Then his mother appears.
She has been gone for years. Her return does not arrive as confrontation; it arrives quietly, and that is the problem. Artyom Koschman plays Dato, Julietta Stepanyan his grandmother, Marietta Tsigal-Polishchuk the mother. Geidarov shoots the reunion without drama, sitting with the specific discomfort of people who love each other and no longer know the words for it.
At 92 minutes, the film is compact, spare, and leaves more unsaid than resolved. Watch "Sidney Lumet's Day of Birth" (2026) online on iFILM.
