Sex. Before and After (Seasons 1–2)

Sex. Before and After (2023) is a Russian anthology drama you can watch online on iFILM. The title is a bait-and-switch: the show isn't about the act itself but about everything circling it — the motives, the fears, the quiet bargains people strike just before and right after.

Each episode stands alone. In one, a man agrees to father a child with his best friend, blind to the scheme she's running. In another, a chance encounter pushes a vegan to ask whether intimacy clashes with what she believes. A heated argument between two strangers over feminism gets settled in bed, where the woman has no intention of owing anyone anything. This is Darya Moroz's debut as director, and she appears in the cast too, alongside Vyacheslav Chepurchenko, Viktoria Agalakova and Yulia Snigir. A frank, 18+ project for viewers drawn to the psychology of desire rather than its mechanics. Stream Sex. Before and After (2023) online on iFILM.
