Accept Adam!

Accept Adam! (Примите Адама!, 1984) is a low-key Soviet drama from director Lavrenty Son that you can watch online on iFILM — the story of an awkward man who is quietly due some luck.

Adam is angular and a little comic, the kind of guy whose work and private life have gone nowhere for years. He's signed onto a crew of high-rise installers mostly out of respect for his mother. Then, just as he settles into the job, a last-minute pass to a mountain camp falls into his hands, and the unexpected days he spends in the Trans-Ili Alatau range become the brightest of his life.

Bolat Kalymbetov plays the lead. It's a gentle Kazakh film about finding your footing exactly where you didn't expect to. Stream Accept Adam! online on iFILM.
