Full of subtle humor, a sensual and striking story about finding your own way in life regardless of how bright and exciting a future your close ones have planned for you.
It’s a scorching hot summer. Maciej Kornet and his beloved daughter Wiktoria set out on another journey across Poland. They are up for a long series of tennis tournaments. The two have been training together for twelve years and are inseparable. Wiktoria meticulously follows her dad’s programme: a strict diet, exhausting workouts, 100% focus. She is growing tired of the routine and longs for some freedom. She thinks of quitting sports but is afraid to hurt her father’s feelings. This summer, Maciej’s new trainee Igor joins them on the tour. Wiktoria will find the secretive boy much more interesting than tennis, and Maciej will have to watch his own dreams and his daughter’s plans go separate ways.
"A Coach's Daughter" is a sensitive road movie by a former tennis player and now accomplished film director about an ambitious tennis coach and his teenage daughter who wants to make her own way in the world.
