Synopsis
Koroleva Igry (Queen of the Game, 2014) is a Russian melodrama you can watch online on iFILM, and its engine is a revenge two decades in the making. It all starts with a childhood wound: seven-year-old Sergei watches Anna's father cheat his own father out of a hotel, leaving the family with nothing.
The boy grows up nursing a single purpose. To reach the man who ruined them, Sergei aims at what he loves most — his only daughter, Anna. The plan is cold and simple: make her fall for him, then break her. The trouble is that the feeling turns out to be mutual, and the hunter walks straight into his own trap. Now he has a choice — finish the reckoning, or give it up for the love of the very woman he set out to destroy. The cast includes Yanina Sokolovskaya, Nadezhda Bakhtina and Vakhtang Beridze.
The setup is familiar, yet it holds you: you keep guessing who outplays whom, and whether he'll really pull the trigger on his own scheme. It suits viewers who like long melodramas about revenge, old family debts and love arriving at the worst possible time. Stream Koroleva Igry online on iFILM.
