How Derevyanko Lomonosov Played (Season 1)

How Derevyanko Played Lomonosov (2024) is a Russian comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Director Klim Shipenko is shooting a biopic about the scientist Lomonosov, with the lead role going to Pavel Derevyanko — playing a half-invented version of himself.

Mid-shoot, a creative crisis hits the actor hard. Chasing inspiration, Pavel travels to the scientist's home region, the place his own daydreams keep pulling him toward, and ends up living with the Belov family. Their father, Egor, makes his living through hard manual work, and the celebrity's arrival upends the household's quiet routine: Egor worries he'll lose his wife Masha, their daughter Polina falls head over heels for the famous guest, and the local deputy Kholmogor starts scheming to bolt a media face onto his election campaign.

Directed by Railya Karimova, it plays as a warm satire of celebrity worship, dropping a big-city star into sleepy provincial life and letting the mild chaos unfold. Derevyanko is happy to poke fun at his own persona, which is half the charm. A good fit if you enjoy cozy comedies about glamour colliding with ordinary life.
