Synopsis
Breaking the Limits (Najlepszy, 2017) is a Polish sports drama you can watch online on iFILM, built from the real life of triathlete Jerzy Górski — a name his own country has mostly forgotten.
The story opens in 1980s Poland, where young Jerzy (Jakub Gierszał) is sinking into heroin addiction. Training becomes his way out: brutal hours, a punishing routine, and one fixed target — a start line at the American Ironman. Director Łukasz Palkowski skips the clean inspirational gloss and stays with the withdrawal, the relapses, the slow climb back. Two women (Kamila Kamińska, Anna Próchniak) pull at his path from different directions.
In 1994 the real Górski covered a Double Ironman in just over 24 hours, a mark nobody had touched. The film leans on Gierszał's raw, unglamorous performance and never turns its subject into a saint — just a man who picked pain over dying. Stream Breaking the Limits (2017) online on iFILM.
