Synopsis
Successful (2024) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM — the tale of a guy who sells success while not owning a single ruble himself. Sasha, thirty and a chronic failure, keeps posing as a hotshot business coach. Then chance throws him in front of billionaire Oleg Kalugin.
Here's the twist: Kalugin has no use for business tips from someone who knows nothing about business. What fascinates the tycoon is something else entirely — how a broke dreamer still manages to enjoy life for real. So he hires Sasha as a personal coach in happiness. That's where the rewiring of Sasha's whole existence begins: the closer the big money creeps, the further off drifts the very contentment he was hired for. Artyom Suchkov, Vladimir Sychyov and Olga Medynich head the cast.
The series comes from Ilya Kulikov, the mind behind Policeman from Rublyovka, and his trademark deadpan is all over it. It lands for anyone who enjoys satire aimed at the cult of "winning at all costs," laced with dirty money, affairs and betrayal. Stream Successful (2024) online on iFILM.
