Synopsis
The Owl's Cry (2013) is a Russian crime series set in a small Soviet town in 1957, available to watch online on iFILM. Mysterious crimes with no clear motive keep piling up, and the locals have little interest in helping. Local policeman Balakhnin and KGB officer Mitin share the investigation — and almost nothing else in how they read the world.
Sergei Puskepalis and Andrei Merzlikin lead the cast. Director Oleg Pogodin builds a slow-burn procedural rooted in the uneasy early Khrushchev years: the old Stalinist rules have just started to loosen, but habits of silence die hard and everyone in a small town knows how to look away. The mystery here isn't only who committed the crimes — it's why an entire community is so determined not to notice. Watch The Owl's Cry online on iFILM.
