A Boy Who Runs

Grand Premiere and Meet-and-Greet with the Filmmakers

06.12.2026 18:00
Jaś is growing up and beginning to see his parents’ disabilities in a different light. Challenges, hope, and love.

The strength of this moving documentary undoubtedly lies in the sincerity with which the filmmaker approaches her subjects. The film delves with incredible power into genuine emotions, showing situations we would sometimes rather not see. From the very beginning, the viewer’s attention is captured by 12-year-old Jaś, who is bursting with energy. The camera can’t keep up with him: dynamic close-up shots let us almost feel the joy he gets from movement. This is all the more striking given that, for the boy’s parents, movement is a very relative concept: both have cerebral palsy and use wheelchairs. This contrast further highlights the scale of the difficulties they face every day—and yet they must also care for their son’s needs.

Jaś has his own struggles; he is beginning to realize what disability means. Although it isn’t always easy, and the situation sometimes spirals out of control, the close-ups in this beautiful film capture genuine emotions—the most important ones, which give strength and allow for hope for the future.
