When Will You Get Married

When Will You Get Married (2024) is a Kazakh comedy-drama available to watch online on iFILM. It's a light tale about a small lie that snowballs out of control, directed by Medet Kalibekov.

Yerlan has a quiet crush on Bayan, who works at the local bookstore, but he never quite finds the courage to talk to her. Then an army summons lands in his hands. His brother's kids offer a way out: Yerlan poses as their "father" to dodge the draft. To thank them, he treats the children to a cafe — and runs straight into Bayan, blurting out that he's a single dad. One careless line, and there's no walking it back. The fib drags in his whole family and keeps growing.

A compact seventy-minute film, easygoing and built on the charm of awkward situations and the cost of even well-meant deception. Good company for a quiet evening. Stream When Will You Get Married (2024) online on iFILM.
