Synopsis
Roses and Thorns (Rozy i shipy, 2023) is a Russian melodrama series available to watch online on iFILM. Fresh off a bruising divorce, Elena Troyanskaya walks away from St. Petersburg and heads back to her hometown of Rechnogorsk. Romance is the last thing on her mind — everything she has goes into one contract: redesigning the city park, on a tight deadline.
Here's the catch. The town's landscaping work has long been split between two firms, both owned by old pals Dronov and Vasilkov. An outsider with talent is a threat they won't tolerate. To force Elena off the job, they bring in a man with a telling résumé — a specialist in running companies into the ground. He gets to work thoroughly, and the trouble starts landing on Lena one blow after another.
Ekaterina Danilova and Ilya Noskov lead the cast. The series leans less on scheming for its own sake and more on a heroine who simply refuses to bend to someone else's rules — exactly what fans of second-chance, strong-woman dramas show up for. Stream Roses and Thorns (2023) online on iFILM.
