Lada Gold (Season 1)

A car cast entirely from mob gold is the engine of Lada Gold (2023), a Russian crime comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The plot runs on a single ridiculous object: a Lada 21043 forged from a gang's hidden treasury, with half the criminal underworld of Tolyatti chasing it down the highway.

Arthur and Pavel are grandsons of sworn enemies, and they end up sharing the front seats of that very car on the road trip of a lifetime. Arthur is the heir of crime boss Midas, flown back from the Netherlands for his grandfather's funeral. Pavel is the grandson of Ogurtsov, a policeman once famous across the city, now drowning in debt and trouble with family and his girlfriend. Three newly released gang leaders — Bald, Buba and Grishka the singer — want the golden Lada back, and meanest of all is Shamray, who'll do anything to claw back his money and power.

Directed by Nikita Vlasov, the series stars Pavel Priluchny and Eldar Kalimulin, with Stasya Miloslavskaya and Roman Yevdokimov. It's a rowdy gangster farce in the spirit of the 2000s, where the heirs of an old feud have to team up just to stay alive — built for fans of loud crime capers that don't pretend to be serious.
