Knock on My Door in Moscow (Seasons 1–2)

Sasha Gordeeva, a straight-A student set on a landscape design career, is the heart of Knock on My Door in Moscow (2024), free to watch online on iFILM. In her final year she's pushed out of university after her scholarship is cancelled with no explanation at all.

Stung, Sasha sets out to get back at the man who cost her the grant — Sergei Gradsky, a young, gifted architect. Their run-in turns into an odd bargain. Play his girlfriend for two months, in public, so he can win back his ex, and she lands a spot at his firm plus the chance to finish her degree. From there it becomes a game in which the pretend romance stops feeling pretend rather quickly.

This is the Russian take on the Turkish smash Sen Çal Kapımı (Love Is in the Air). Directed by Vsevolod Aravin and Karolina Kubrinskaya, with Nikita Volkov and Liana Griba in the leads. Breezy enemies-to-lovers romance with real spark; rated 16+. Stream Knock on My Door in Moscow (2024) online on iFILM.
