Отцы (Season 1)

Fathers (Ottsy, 2017) — watch online on iFILM — is a Russian action drama about ordinary men pushed to extraordinary limits when their daughters vanish mid-flight over Libya. Director Arsho Arutyunyan opens the story with a girls' volleyball team flying home from a Cyprus tournament on a sponsor's private jet: the plane drops off radar and goes silent.

The hostages end up in the hands of armed militants — some are being prepared for trafficking, others face indefinite captivity. One of them is Katya, whose father Oleg, a former intelligence officer played by Vasily Shlykov, pulls together the other fathers into an improvised rescue team with no backup and no official sanction. Also starring Ivan Oganesyan and Vladimir Steklov. Watch Fathers (Отцы) online on iFILM — a raw fathers-on-a-mission story where stubbornness matters more than training.
