The Second Breathe (Season 1)

The Second Breathe (2013) is a Russian family drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Sergey Pikalov tells the story of two physicists, husband and wife, whose steady life is about to take a sharp turn.

It is 2012, and the state is pouring fresh money into nanotechnology. The Shevelev household is celebrating: tomorrow Igor starts at a classified department. Both are around forty; they once studied together, then worked side by side at the same research institute. They are raising a teenage daughter, Oksana, and a six-year-old son, Gosha. The new job promises big changes — and tests everything the couple has built over the years.

This is quiet cinema about people of science and how a single career move reshapes a family from within. Viktoriya Tolstoganova, Marat Basharov and Egor Beroev lead the cast. A good fit if you want calm Russian drama about ordinary life, no melodrama. Stream The Second Breathe online on iFILM.
