Awakening (Season 1)

Awakening (Probuzhdenie, 2021) is a Russian sci-fi drama you can watch online on iFILM. Criminal investigator Pavel Frolov walks away from a brutal car crash with a strange new problem.

Every morning he wakes up in a different version of his life. In one, his teenage son Kirill survived the wreck; in the other, his wife Svetlana did. Pavel can't recall who he actually lost — and in both worlds he's blamed for the death. He starts using these shifts between realities to crack hard police cases and to piece together what really happened on the road that night.

The real draw is Yevgeny Mironov, carrying a man split across two possible fates, with Aleksandr Robak and Nataliya Vdovina beside him. The fantastical hook stays in service of a quieter story about guilt and the choices we'd take back. Stream Awakening online on iFILM.
