Sixteen + (Season 1)

Sixteen + (2021) is a musical film almanac from director Svetlana Samoshina that you can watch online on iFILM. Every short story here grows out of a popular song.

The series digs into what coming of age actually feels like: first love and first intimacy, jealousy, envy, learning to accept your own body, the push to break away from parents and prove that you matter. Loneliness runs underneath all of it — the kind that hits hardest at sixteen. Told as a string of short dramas and melodramas set to music, it keeps the tone honest and skips the lectures. Danil Steklov turns up among the cast. A good pick if you want sincere stories about youth with no gloss. Stream Sixteen + online on iFILM.
