Synopsis
The Hornets' Nest (Osinoe gnezdo, 2016) is a Russian family drama you can watch online on iFILM. Three generations of Maltsev women share one big house, and not one of them is happy there. The household runs on the iron will of Kira, a private-clinic doctor nobody dares contradict.
Kira holds daily "briefings," interrogates her daughters and decides everything for them. The uneasy truce collapses when her own mother vanishes — willing the entire estate to a stranger and a priceless Van Gogh canvas to an art museum. The money that painting could fetch would free any of the women from this house, and the fight over the will turns blood relatives into rivals for good. Evgenia Simonova, Maria Kulikova, Elizaveta Arzamasova and Irina Antonenko play women who can't quite live together or apart.
Directed by Sergey Lyalin, the show stages its sharpest schemes at the dinner table rather than a crime scene. It's for viewers who like family warfare with real stakes and no gunfire. Stream The Hornets' Nest online on iFILM.
