When weakness becomes your greatest strength! Premiered December 26th. 

From the director of the box-office hit “Gods”, Lukasz Palkowski, comes another movie, inspired by the real life events of an extraordinary human being. The man who proved that real heroes are not afraid to fall down and can pick themselves up from the rock bottom. “Breaking the limits” revolves around an athlete, who captured the world’s imagination, while to this day he’s virtually anonymous in Poland. This captivating story of torturous efforts, spectacular failures and extraordinary strength, was inspired by the life of Jerzy Górski, who completed the Death Run and set the record in the triathlon world championships, winning the Double Ironman distance in 24h:47min:46sec.

This feat wouldn’t be possible without two women in his life. The one that he lost. And the one, that became the inspiration to fight for his life. Starring: Jakub Gierszal, Janusz Gajos, Magdalena Cielecka, Arkadiusz Jakubik, Tomasz Kot, Mateusz Kosciukiewicz, Adam Woronowicz, Artur Zmijewski, Anna Próchniak, Kamila Kaminska, Szymon Warszawski and others. The movie’s cinematographer, Piotr Sobocinski Junior, won Best Cinematography at the 41st Gdynia Film Festival, for Wojciech Smarzowski’s “Hatred”.
