Phil (Season 1)

Phil (Филфак, 2017) is a Russian comedy series you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Fyodor Stukov. Three friends find themselves studying at the philological faculty — quite possibly the most literary and least practical place on campus.

Misha Solomonov writes poetry, can't say no, and has been quietly in love with his classmate Lena since orientation week. His best friend Roma Babin attends lectures with headphones on and an online game running in the background. The third of the trio, Zhenya Morozov, desperately wants to impress women — and has the remarkable gift of doing the exact opposite every time he tries. Standing between Misha and Lena is her ex Borya from the sports faculty, a man whose entire literary frame of reference is the sports section of the newspaper. A warm Russian campus comedy with Efim Shifrin and Alexey Zolotovitsky in support. Watch all episodes of Phil online on iFILM.
