Synopsis
Masha v zakone (2012) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM. Masha is in her early thirties with ten years behind a hairdresser's chair and a personal life that refuses to settle. So she tears it all up and starts over: law school, a diploma, and a sudden urge to defend ordinary people in court. Irina Pegova carries the lead.
The degree is real, the experience is zero, and the stubbornness is bottomless. She rents a few square meters in a shopping mall, sets up a desk and two chairs, hangs a sign reading "Maria Pirogova — Legal Services," and the clients with their tangled cases start showing up. Each episode brings a fresh face and a fresh mess, which Masha untangles with nerve, humor, and a sharp instinct for people. Anna Antonova, Dmitry Frid, and Vasily Bochkaryov round out the cast.
A light sitcom about switching careers at thirty without falling apart — easy comfort viewing for anyone who roots for the little guy against the paperwork. Stream Masha v zakone (2012) online on iFILM.
