Первокурсницы (Seasons 1–2)

Pervokursnitsy (2023) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Zhanna and Nastya rang in the millennium together in a student dorm and swore they would make something of themselves. Then both dropped out after their first year.

More than two decades later, life hands them a reason to look back: Nastya's sons are heading off to the army, and Zhanna catches her husband cheating. The friends decide everything went wrong the moment they walked away from their degrees — so they cook up a wild plan to re-enroll at the same university, move into the same dorm, and start over. Two forty-something freshmen now have to share a hall with classmates young enough to be their kids and sit through exams all over again. Anna Ukolova and Ekaterina Stulova play the pair with zero self-pity — funny and, at times, painfully relatable. A comedy that insists a second run is never too late.
