Synopsis
Zastava Zhilin (2009) is a Russian wartime drama series you can watch online on iFILM. It was directed by Vasily Pichul, best known for the landmark film Little Vera.
The year is 1941. Running from an unhappy love affair, first-year student Pavel Zhilin signs up for a remote border post just weeks before the Nazi invasion. But his feelings catch up with him there too. After surviving the first wave of the German offensive, Zhilin does everything he can to save the woman he loves — and the man she has just married.
Ivan Stebunov, Daniil Spivakovsky and Ekaterina Vilkova take the lead roles. The series frames the opening days of the Eastern Front through one tangled personal story rather than pure battlefield spectacle. One for viewers who like their war drama carried by a strong human thread. Stream every episode of Zastava Zhilin online on iFILM.
