Synopsis
Uncle Alex (2024) is a family crime comedy you can watch online: by day the hero sweeps the yard of a small-town orphanage, by night he burgles the homes of its richest neighbors.
The quiet janitor spends none of the loot on himself — it all goes back into that same orphanage. The arrangement collapses the night three of the rowdiest kids catch him mid-break-in. With no way out, he takes the teenagers on as partners in crime. From there his life turns into a circus: throwing investigators off the trail of his own jobs, winning back the woman he loves, paying for old mistakes, and somehow seeing his "Robin Hood plan" through. The kids, meanwhile, finally get what they've been missing — a grown-up firmly in their corner.
Directed by Dmitry Nevzorov, the show rests on Timofey Tribuntsev, whose likeable crook carries every scene, alongside Sergey Lavygin and Anna Ukolova. Easy watching for a family evening, where the heist is really just an excuse to argue that a family can be built from anyone. Stream Uncle Alex online on iFILM.
