Synopsis
Contact (Kontakt, 2021) is a Russian drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Evgeny Stychkin. Gleb Barnashov used to be a sharp detective; now he's been demoted to juvenile-affairs inspector. His wife has left, and his teenage daughter Yulya blames him for the split.
Desperate to reach her, Barnashov does something he'd normally despise: he sets up a fake social-media profile posing as a boy her age and starts chatting with his own daughter. A man who lives by his principles now lies daily, and the lie keeps growing. It's a fathers-and-sons story for an age when real conversation has been swapped for direct messages.
Pavel Maykov plays a cop who can corner criminals but is helpless with his own kid. The series sits with parental confusion honestly, skipping easy lessons and sentiment. Stream Contact online on iFILM, all episodes in high quality.
