Synopsis
"Sterva" (2017) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, starring Svetlana Khodchenkova as Sonya Bagretsova, a restaurant critic for a popular Moscow online magazine. Sonya is a confirmed misanthrope who has organized her life to minimize human contact.
Her new boss Kirill — Alexander Petrov — takes an immediate interest in his difficult employee. She turns him down flat. That evening, covering a restaurant opening, Sonya has one too many drinks and wakes up having spent the night with Kirill, struck up a friendship with a chatty nail technician named Nelya, and somehow ended up on speaking terms with the downstairs taxi driver she had intended to avoid forever. Khodchenkova doesn't soften her character for a moment, and that refusal is what makes the show funny. Watch "Sterva" online on iFILM.
