Synopsis
#Students (#Studenty, 2014) is a Russian sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. It's a string of tall tales from one university, stocked with every type you'd recognise: a money-grubbing rector, the girl the whole year is crushing on, and guys who care more about their computer game than any exam.
Add the self-appointed campus activists who take their own causes far too seriously, and the cocky fifth-years convinced they've already figured college out. Everyone will spot someone from their own class in this crowd. The story moves in short comic sketches about lectures, the dorm, romance and the eternal student shortage of cash. The cast includes Alexander Korotkov, Alexei Maklakov and Irina Chesnokova, with Ilya Aksenov directing.
The humour is simple and familiar, aiming for nothing grander — exactly right when you just want something light to match the mood. It lands best with students, recent grads and anyone who misses lectures, exams and dorm-room stories. Stream #Students (2014) online on iFILM.
