PL 2025, 90 mins, ori­gi­nal ver­si­on with German and English sub­tit­les, , Dir: Kordian Kądziela / Screenplay: Kordian Kądziela, Michał Wawrzecki / Cinematography: Cezary Stolecki / Editor: Magdalena Chowańska / Music: Jan Sanejko / Cast: Filip Zaręba, Martyna Byczkowska, Hubert Łapacz, Mikołaj Chilimończyk, Maciej Bisiorek, Agnieszka Rajda, Andrzej Konopka, Edyta Olszówka, Michał Balicki, Bartłomiej Topa and others.

The Lower Silesian coun­try­si­de isn’t exact­ly brim­ming with attrac­tions for teen­agers. But its wood­lands pro­vi­de the per­fect back­drop for spraw­ling live-action role-play­ing games. It’s cer­tain­ly no coin­ci­dence that their idol, the cele­bra­ted fan­ta­sy aut­hor Lacroix, hails from their back­wa­ter of all places.
Yet it is in ever­y­day life that the lan­ky, self-con­scious ado­le­s­cent Sergiusz must fight his toug­hest batt­les. He is con­stant­ly bul­lied by the son of the village’s richest man; his sin­gle father would like to mould him into a com­pe­ti­ti­ve ath­le­te; and the beau­tiful Helena, who sud­den­ly turns up at school, is making the wrong fri­ends.
Kordian Kądziela’s cri­ti­cal­ly acclai­med box-office hit has ever­y­thing a clas­sic coming-of-age film needs – social con­flicts, a love sto­ry and a healt­hy dose of youthful exu­berance. What makes it spe­cial, along­side num­e­rous ori­gi­nal visu­al ide­as (inclu­ding an incon­gruous 1990s set­ting) and various ton­gue-in-cheek jibes at the LARP and fan­ta­sy sce­nes, is the magni­fi­cent per­for­mance of Andrzej Konopka, who has won mul­ti­ple awards for his role as an over­whel­med father and pro­vin­cial poli­ce­man.
