Time Chose Us (Season 1)

Soviet wartime drama Time Chose Us (1979) is available to watch online on iFILM. In the winter of 1942, a Komsomol envoy named Ivan Voronetsky is handed a covert assignment and slips behind enemy lines with a five-man squad.

Director Mikhail Ptashuk avoided the era's monument-building style — his partisans are frightened young people who go anyway. Yevgeny Gerasimov, Viktor Proskurin and Leonid Markov lead the cast of this quiet Soviet series. Stream Time Chose Us online on iFILM.
