About the film “Johnny”
“Johnny” is a story based on true events that moves and inspires. It is told from the perspective of Patryk Galewski, a young man in the care of Father Jan Kaczkowski who did not have an easy start in life.
Patryk breaks into a house in a small town. A court sentence orders him to do community service at the hospice in Puck, where he meets the remarkable Father Jan Kaczkowski. The priest gets young vocational-school boys, seemingly hardened rebels, involved in helping the sick. In his work he focuses on closeness, tenderness and fighting for relationships with other people. He teaches empathy. And he does it with wholesale amounts of humour, which wins him enormous popularity. Not long afterwards, Jan himself faces the challenge of battling an illness. Patryk finds himself in a situation that will change his entire life.
The charismatic priest Jan Kaczkowski is played by Dawid Ogrodnik. Patryk Galewski is played by Piotr Trojan, winner of multiple awards for his performance in “25 lat niewinności. Sprawa Tomka Komendy”. On screen we will also see, among others, Magdalena Czerwińska, Anna Dymna, Maria Pakulnis, Marta Stalmierska, Witold Dębicki, Michał Kaleta and Joachim Lamża.
The film is directed by Daniel Jaroszek, who has so far worked on projects in the advertising industry. “Johnny” is his feature debut. The screenplay is by Maciej Kraszewski, who also wrote the book “Johnny. Powieść o księdzu Janie Kaczkowskim”.
