Strong Weak Woman (Season 1)

Strong Weak Woman (2019) is a Russian melodrama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Ekaterina Dvigubskaya. Spring 1989, the quiet town of Kasimov. Top of her class, Nina Golubeva dreams of designing clothes — until a first romance leaves her pregnant and alone.

With a baby and almost nothing else, Nina heads for a cold, indifferent Moscow at the dawn of the 1990s. No money, no contacts, no one to lean on. Aleksandra Vlasova carries the show, turning a wide-eyed small-town girl into a woman who learns to take a hit and stay standing. Recognition and success are coming, but the bill for them runs long. This one is for viewers who like female life stories set against a country falling apart — no gloss, plenty of period detail. Stream Strong Weak Woman online on iFILM.
