Synopsis
Goodbye (2024) is a Russian political comedy you can watch online on iFILM. The setup: US President Joe Biden, baffled by why his sanctions aren't denting Russia, secretly flies to Moscow to understand the Russian soul firsthand. Day one — he loses his documents.
He ends up renting a room in a standard Soviet-era apartment block, teaching English lessons to save up for new papers, and relying on a fiercely patriotic new friend for survival. Meanwhile, FSB operatives are quietly moving a Russian pensioner named Ivanych (Alexei Demidov) — who looks uncannily like Biden — to the United States. Dmitry Dyuzhev leads the cast; Marusya Klimova and Anna Ukolova round out the ensemble.
Political satire is the wrapper, but the show is really about ordinary people being decent to each other in absurd circumstances — and it's funnier for keeping that straight face. Stream all episodes of Goodbye on iFILM.
