Synopsis
The detective series Opekun (2016) is a Russian crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, and it opens with a brazen robbery — at a grave. From the tomb of a general decorated in the Russo-Turkish war, thieves take medals, a gold ceremonial weapon and other items that carry historical, not just monetary, weight.
The case lands with police major Olga Nikolaeva, played by Ekaterina Klimova. She is sharp and experienced, yet lives alone, something that keeps her mother worried. Driving to visit her, Olga is caught in an odd accident and suffers a head injury. The only witness is a young man named Ivan. He gets her to the nearest hospital and then vanishes without explanation. That small coincidence is where the real puzzle begins.
This is a small-scale story with no big-city gloss: a provincial town, an old case with a hidden second layer, and an investigator who finds other people's secrets easier to solve than her own. A solid pick for fans of unhurried evening detective TV. Stream Opekun (2016) online on iFILM.
