Synopsis
This Summer Will End (2025) is a Russian thriller from Vladimir Munkuev and Maxim Arbugaev you can watch online on iFILM. Kesha returns to his remote village after a prison term, wanting nothing more than a quiet, ordinary life.
His father and 17-year-old brother Tima are waiting; Tima has his sights on a state-funded place at university. The plan is modest — find work, save up, figure out the rest. Then Kesha signs on with a gold-mining crew, only to be swindled and left with nothing. So he takes matters into his own hands, steals the gold and runs, his younger brother in tow. Yura Borisov and Makar Khlebnikov lead.
Shot in the Yakutian backcountry, where the taiga and the mines press down on every frame. Co-director Maxim Arbugaev came out of documentary film — his short Haulout earned an Oscar nomination — and that tactile sense of place shows. A hard-edged drama about one choice that wrecks two lives, aimed at fans of new Russian arthouse. Stream This Summer Will End (2025) online on iFILM.
