WHAT I WANT
POLISH TITLE: TO, CZEGO CHCĘ
Ariel, who is 25 and an avid supporter of the Górnik Zabrze football club, dreams of a footballer’s career and a dog. For 20-year-old Karolina, a single mother of a one-year-old boy, the career of a cheerleader for the Ruch Chorzów football club is a chance to break away from everyday problems. They seem to be as different as the hostile football clubs, yet they want the same thing – to escape from loneliness and strive for a new, better life.
