Johnny

Johnny (2022) is a Polish drama by Daniel Jaroszek you can watch online, drawn from the real life of a hospice priest. A court sentence drops small-time crook Patryk into community service at a hospice, where he runs into Father Jan — everyone just calls him Johnny.

The priest is terminally ill, sharp-tongued and nobody's idea of a saint: he swears, jokes about dying, and sees the angry young man as a person before the man can see it himself. Their odd friendship reshapes them both. Dawid Ogrodnik plays the priest with no sugar-coating, Piotr Trojan plays his charge, and the two keep the film honest instead of preachy. It draws on the life of Father Jan Kaczkowski, who founded a hospice in Puck. Heavy, luminous and free of fakery. Stream Johnny (2022) online on iFILM.
