CONFIRMATION
To find a sponsor for his confirmation, Filip (14), a chubby mama’s boy, agrees to help Karolina (16), a girl with Down syndrome, pursue her dream of working on a sex hotline. Their unlikely bond leads to rebellion and self-discovery.
Filip (14), a chubby boy, feels trapped as the “face” of his mum’s Thermomix social media. He secretly searches for someone other than her to be his confirmation sponsor. He chooses Olek, an older rebellious altar boy, who agrees - if Filip helps his sister Karolina (16), who has Down syndrome - with speech therapy. However, it turns out that the speech exercises are just an excuse to fulfill Karolina's secret dream: working on a sex hotline. She believes anonymity will let her feel desired. Filip is shocked, yet moved. Their bond deepens - first through secrets then intimacy. When a failed aptitude test shatters her dream, Filip simulates a phone sex call and masturbates for the first time - unaware his mother is watching. Outraged, she humiliates Karolina. But the teens grow even closer and have sex, triggering painful fallout. Filip’s mother calls social services, sending Karolina and Olek to an orphanage. On confirmation day, Filip walks out of the church - renouncing the sacrament.
