Pharma (Season 1)

Pharma (Фарма, 2024) is a Russian crime dramedy you can watch online on iFILM. Eighteen-year-old Anton writes his own music and raps, but he lives with a rare genetic disorder — muscular dystrophy that slowly shuts the body down.

The expensive drug that keeps him going is his by right, yet red tape has cut off his access to it. His older brother Mikha, a small-time troublemaker, won't accept that and finds a blunt workaround: cook the medicine himself. With a crew of friends he sets up an underground lab, and saving Anton's life quickly drags them into crime and into their own messes — fixing problems however they can. Directed by Maria Kravchenko, starring Nikita Pavlenko, Mark Eydelshtein and Aram Vardevanyan. The 18+ rating is earned: it swings between tenderness about brotherhood and sharp criminal farce.
