Having Many Children (Season 1)

Having Many Children (2024) is a Russian family comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The Gerasimovs are a big, close-knit bunch. Pavel, an architect and father of five, dreams of a sixth, and the only thing standing in the way is their cramped Moscow flat.

That frustration sparks an idea. Pavel designs a residential complex called the Ark, built specifically for large families. A developer named Lev Borisovich takes a liking to the concept, but only as a marketing hook for his own company. It leaves Pavel facing a tough dilemma: grab more living space by cheating people just as strapped as he is, or pick a fight with a very dangerous man. Refusing to bargain with their conscience, the family sells the apartment and leaves the city, settling in the old house where Pavel's ancestors once lived to build their own Ark with their bare hands.

Rated 6+, it's a story about how tight quarters and empty pockets turn into a genuine adventure, with a big family finding its strength from within. Pavel Savinkov, Polina Lazareva and Ivan Bychkov head the cast. A good pick for a warm watch the whole household can share, with no cynicism or grit.
