Intensive work is underway on the biographical film "Adam", set to be one of the most anticipated sports productions in recent years. The film's action focuses on the period in the late 1990s, when ski jumping in Poland had not yet achieved the status of a national sport. Viewers will learn the story of Adam Małysz before the explosion of global "Małyszomania", observing the coming of age of a young athlete from Wisła who must face a lack of support, doubt, and the growing expectations of those around him. In the title role is Bartłomiej Deklewa, a 25-year-old actor from Gdynia, known for productions such as "Absolutni debiutanci". The creators place great emphasis on authenticity; Adam Małysz himself admitted that the script faithfully reflects his personal experiences. On screen, we will also see Tomasz Kot in the role of the charismatic manager Eddie Federer, who played a key role in the professionalization of the Polish ski jumper's career. Filming is taking place in several locations, including Warsaw, Szczyrk, Wisła, and the German town of Oberstdorf. The phenomenon of "Małyszomania" was born in the winter of 2000/2001, when Adam Małysz became the first Pole to win the prestigious Four Hills Tournament. This success not only revolutionized Polish sport but became a symbol of success during the period of political transformation. Production is scheduled to last about three months, with its cinema premiere planned for 2027. The film has the chance to become an in-depth psychological portrait of an athlete, showing the price paid for success at the world level. The project, supported by Filmweb and East Studio, aims to go beyond the framework of a standard sports biography, exploring the intimate spheres of the public hero's life. „Skoki narciarskie to nie tylko to, co widać w telewizyjnych transmisjach. To również presja, wyzwania, chwile samotności oraz momenty, w których wszystko wydaje się niemożliwe.” (Ski jumping is not just what you see in TV broadcasts. It's also pressure, challenges, moments of loneliness, and times when everything seems impossible.) — Adam Małysz Film Adam Production Details: Main Role: Adam Małysz (real person) → Bartłomiej Deklewa (actor); Manager Role: Edi Federer (real person) → Tomasz Kot (actor); Time Period: 1990s → Career Breakthrough and TCS Triumph
