Eva in Labor (Season 1)

Eva in Labor (Ева, рожай!, 2022) is a Russian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Eva teaches dance, and work has long since stood in for a personal life — no husband, no kids. Elena Podkaminskaya stars, with Nikita Grammatikov directing.

Because she's single, her colleagues treat Eva as the obvious one to cover extra shifts and stand in for whoever just left on maternity leave. She might have gone on like that forever. Then she learns that the ex she still calls the love of her life got married and just became a father. The ground drops out from under her, and Eva sets a single goal: become a mother, whatever it takes — which kicks off a far-from-tactful search for the right candidate.

Alongside Podkaminskaya you'll spot Galina Polskikh, Alyona Khmelnitskaya and Anatoly Bely. The whole thing rests on that familiar "biological clock" pressure, yet it skips the lecturing and lets its heroine stay sharp and funny. Good company for anyone who likes light series about grown women calling their own shots. Stream Eva in Labor (2022) online on iFILM.
