Synopsis
Thank You for Love (Spasibo za lyubov, 2007) is a Russian melodrama from director Konstantin Khudyakov that you can watch online on iFILM. Ivan brings his fiancée Lara home to meet his mother — a young woman he's known for all of two weeks.
Olga Arkadyevna sizes up her son's choice and sees nothing but problems. Lara is older than Vanya, far too proud and self-sufficient, works at a stable, and once posed for a glossy men's magazine. War is quietly declared on the future daughter-in-law. But Lara has no intention of backing down, and the duel between mother-in-law and bride turns into a contest where each woman is fighting for her own right to love the same man.
Elena Yakovleva, Ekaterina Guseva, Yuri Stepanov and Aleksandr Lazarev Jr. head the cast. It's a warm, occasionally sharp-tongued story about how hard it is to share someone you love, and how affection is tested by the willingness to give ground rather than by words. A good fit for viewers who like family dramas with flawed, fully alive heroines. Stream Thank You for Love (2007) online on iFILM.
