I Want to, I Can't! (Season 1)

I Want to, I Can't! (Хочу не могу!, 2023) is a Russian comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Sasha falls for charming Andrey and walks straight into a trap: she's a sex addict, and she's terrified to admit it.

By her recovery group's rules, intimacy is off-limits until marriage — and Andrey, baffled by her hot-and-cold behavior, is ready to propose. The closer the wedding gets, the heavier the secret weighs. Then a stranger from a dating app resurfaces, and Sasha has to decide what matters more: desire or feeling. Darya Melnikova plays it with zero coyness — her Sasha is funny, but a real fear of ending up alone sits right under the jokes.

Director Yana Gladkikh takes an awkward subject and handles it without prudishness or cheap shock, which is why the comedy and the drama actually hold together. Maxim Lagashkin and Yana Koshkina round out the cast. The 18+ rating earns its place: this is a grown-up look at addiction tucked inside a romance. Stream I Want to, I Can't! online on iFILM.
