A great adventure awaits those who are not afraid to follow their hearts – see the first teaser of the film ‘Gnome. A new beginning’! The film, directed by Krzysztof Komander, is an adventurous story that will provide entertainment at the highest level, while cleverly touching on issues important for children and parents. One of the most interesting family cinema offerings of the year will hit screens in just a few months. The cast includes Arkadiusz Jakubik, Anna Smołowik, Wojciech Solarz and Agata Turkot.

A story that will move the imagination and hearts

The first images and teaser of the film reveal the secret of a story that will touch viewers of all ages. Eleven-year-old Hania has to find herself in a completely new environment after moving with her dad to another town. When the girls from her class take away her locket – a priceless family heirloom – Hania decides to get it back at all costs.

In order to do so, she has to prove the existence of gnomes, in which – despite her age and the teasing of her peers – she still firmly believes. In her adventurous mission, she is helped – reluctantly at first – by her friend Michał, a young inventor. But it turns out that finding a magical creature is only the beginning. You still have to gain its trust and… learn to cooperate.

‘Gnome. A New Beginning’ is not only a thrilling adventure, but also a story about imagination, the strength of family ties and dealing with difficult emotions.

Stars in unusual roles

The roles of Hania and Michael are played by Amelia Golda and Maksymilian Zielinski. The talented young actors bring freshness and authenticity to the film.

In the film, we will see Arkadiusz Jakubik in a role that is completely new to him.Hania’s dad is a role close to my heart – full of warmth, but also challenges that many viewers will be able to identify with. ‘Skrzat. A New Beginning‘ is a film that shows that there is magic in all of us if we just open up to the world,’ says the actor.

Anna Smolowik, who also stars in the film, emphasises that ‘Gnome. A New Beginning’ is a beautiful story that brings generations together: sensitive and funny, yet full of wise messages. – I am proud to have been a part of it,’ she adds.

Director Krzysztof Komander reveals what sets the film apart from other family productions:
– ‘The teaser and stills are just a foretaste of what we have prepared. ‘Skrzat. A New Beginning’ is a story that will not only draw viewers into an adventurous world, but also remind them of the importance of imagination and relationships with loved ones. We wanted to create a film that entertains, moves and inspires.
