Man for the New Year

Man for the New Year (2023) is a Russian holiday rom-com drama you can watch online on iFILM. Lera is beautiful, sharp and successful — and stubbornly single.

In love she trusts her girlfriends' opinions over her own gut, and one dead-end fling just rolls into the next. After cutting off the latest, she makes a bet: she'll find the man of her dreams by New Year's Eve. Small catch — the holiday is a week away. What follows is a sprint of dates, pep talks and self-delusion. Director Andrey Noskov keeps it light and festive and takes a role himself, alongside Kira Kaufman and Kristina Kuzmina. Easy viewing for the holiday couch. Stream Man for the New Year online on iFILM.
