Synopsis
Mute Cuckoo (2024) is a Russian war drama you can watch online on iFILM. Director Rauf Kubaev's 91-minute film is set in the Soviet-Finnish War of winter 1939, where a Red Army soldier and a Finnish sniper find themselves on opposite sides of the front — and bound by the same song.
Zarif, sent to the Karelian front from Tatarstan, lies in the snow under the sniper's sights. To steady himself, he hums a Tatar folk melody — the one he used to sing with Kashifa before the war took him away. The sniper, Ziyatdin, is also Tatar; his mother sang him that exact tune as a child. The film stars Zulfat Khakim and Eldar Gataullin. Spare and quiet, it asks whether two men who share a lullaby can still call each other enemies. Stream Mute Cuckoo online on iFILM.
