10 Stories About Love and Death (Season 1)

"10 Stories About Love and Death" (2025) is a Russian drama series you can watch online on iFILM. It draws on the personal accounts of war correspondent Semyon Pegov, who spent years reporting from the Donbas conflict zone starting in 2014.

Ten standalone episodes, each centered on a different person — soldier, volunteer, civilian — caught up in the same war at a different moment. Director Andrei Golovkov and Pegov made a deliberate choice to stay away from combat sequences. The series is about what the conflict does to people, not what it looks like on camera. Nikita Vasilevsky, Andrei Garkunov, Efim Petrunin, and Alexandra Kashtanova lead an ensemble cast of twelve.

The anthology format means every episode holds its own weight without needing context from the others — a clean structure for difficult material. Stream "10 Stories About Love and Death" online on iFILM.
