The 13th Clinical Hospital. Beginning (Season 1)

The 13th Clinical. Beginning (2024) is a supernatural Soviet-set drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Ilya Yermolov places the action in the late Brezhnev era: humanity has just begun brushing against the occult, and the state is quietly recruiting doctors willing to treat what no textbook covers.

Neuropsychiatrist Yana, played by Irina Starshenbauм, arrives at the half-built hospital with a private crisis already in motion. Her son is in debt to Lucifer — and the only way to free him is to become a demon's vessel herself. She also ends up running an institution that does not officially exist, alongside colleagues played by Sergey Gilyov and Pavel Priluchy, each carrying their own buried complications.

Soviet period drama crossed with genuine occult threat at this production level is rare on Russian television. Stream The 13th Clinical. Beginning online on iFILM.
