Synopsis
Where does old Moscow still survive, if not in a communal flat? Communal Detective (Kommunalny detektiv, 2013) by Olga Muzaleva is available to watch online on iFILM, built around one of the city's last remaining shared apartments.
A long corridor crammed with other people's belongings, endless arguments over square meters, the standing dream of a place of one's own — the routine here hasn't shifted in decades. Then two new tenants move in, and everything tilts: the neighbors stop merely bickering and get pulled into a shared investigation, until the flat turns from an ordinary kommunalka into a homemade detective agency. The cast features Nonna Grishaeva, Aleksandr Nazarov, Natalya Ryzhikh, Sergey Druzyak and Vladimir Kapustin.
A cozy tale of neighbors, secrets and the housing question that, as the saying goes, spoiled Moscow's people. Stream Communal Detective (2013) online on iFILM.
