"Manyunya: Childhood of the Ba" (2025) is a Russian family comedy you can watch online on iFILM — a spin-off of the popular Manyunya series, directed by Arman Marutyan. Set in the first half of the twentieth century, it follows young Rosa's family as they uproot to the Armenian mountain village of Berd, hoping to start over from nothing.
The road there is all chaos, and the new house turns out to be old and crooked. Rosa doesn't mind — her cousin Faye is next door, and local boy Hamlet rounds out the trio. The three of them turn the sleepy village into a running comedy every day. Father Joseph keeps hatching schemes despite failing at every one of them; Mother Maria wants to teach at the village school, much to Rosa's horror. Warmer and more unhurried than the original, the show earns its charm through village texture rather than plot speed. Stream "Manyunya: Childhood of the Ba" online on iFILM.
