Być jak Kazimierz Deyna

About This Movie

This 2012 comedy, 'Być jak Kazimierz Deyna', taps into the nostalgic vein of Polish soccer culture while weaving a quirky coming-of-age story. It centers around Kazik, born the same day as Deyna's famed goal against Portugal, who finds himself at odds with familial expectations. There's a light-hearted yet poignant tone throughout, as Kazik's struggle for identity feels authentic. The pacing is relaxed, allowing for character moments and subtle humor to bloom naturally. While the performances bring a warmth to the ensemble, it’s the practical effects in some scenes that give a charming, slightly retro feel. The film's exploration of self-discovery amidst societal pressures makes it stand out in the genre.
