History of Mateusz, a boy diagnosed at a very young age as mentally disabled with no ability to communicate. For nearly twenty-five years he's been deemed a vegetable by everyone but his parents, who believed in his ability to improve. Now 30 and institutionalized, he faces a committee of physicians who will decide his future. Will he prove to everyone that despite his physical handicap, he is in fact intelligent?

 

Winner of multiple awards, including first prize at the 37th International Film Festival in Montreal, “Life feels good” proved to be particularly popular with audiences enchanted by a beautifully told true story, outstanding performance by Dawid Ogrodnik and a positive message - never give up, face obstacles and enjoy life as it is.
