Barankins and Power Stones (Season 1)

Barankins and Power Stones (2025) is a Russian fantasy comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. The Barankin family has been driving taxis in Moscow for generations, and they come with a built-in advantage: they can shapeshift, stop time, and read minds. Directed by Misha Polyakov.

Everything shifts when Varvara — the family's founding ancestor, a coachwoman from 1804 — accidentally lands in modern Moscow. The encounter passes a new set of powers to Bata (Andrey Fedortsov) and his grown children, locked inside magical stones. That would be convenient, except the stones also amplify every existing family argument, and an immortal villain named Velimir has already picked up the trail.

Yuliya Topolnitskaya and Andrey Fedortsov lead a cast that plays the magic mostly for friction rather than spectacle. Stream Barankins and Power Stones (2025) on iFILM.
