Synopsis
The Price of Life (Tsena Zhizni, 2013) is a Russian drama you can watch online on iFILM. Ilya Shagin teaches pathophysiology to medical students until his wife dies in childbirth — a loss he is certain could have been prevented.
His push for accountability backfires: he loses his university post and ends up in prison on trumped-up charges. Behind bars he earns a second degree, this time in law. Released early, he reinvents himself as an attorney for people wrecked by someone else's negligence — victims of medical errors, workplace injuries, botched treatment. Konstantin Lavronenko plays him quiet and unbreakable, the cold focus of a man with nothing left to lose. It's a slow-burn legal drama about grief hardening into principle.
