Synopsis
The Duel Club (Chyornaya vesna, 2022) is a Russian teen drama you can watch online on iFILM. Seventeen-year-old Mel and his friends are coasting through their last school year in a sleepy seaside town. Everything shifts the day a pair of antique dueling pistols ends up in his hands.
Mel has loved his friend Anzhela since childhood, and he decides to defend her honor the old-fashioned way — at gunpoint. Out of that grows a secret society, "Black Spring," where teenagers revive a forgotten ritual and bind themselves to their own code of honor and justice. Every duel at dawn turns into a test, and with each one they learn more about themselves, their friends, and the family secrets buried around them. Gleb Kalyuzhny plays a hero whose adolescent absolutism drags the whole group too far.
Directors Lyubov Lvova and Sergei Taramaev film growing up as a dangerous game played for keeps. The 18+ rating isn't decorative. It's for anyone after a hard-edged story about youth, first love, and the price of principles. Stream The Duel Club (2022) online on iFILM.
