Most of the plot is familiar and we feel like we are seeing real Zlatan growing before our eyes.

Because it’s Zlatan who plays it, right? No, of course not. But it’s really a very good criticism of the two actors who play Ibra as a young man (Dominic Anderson Bagrati) and old (Rachiti granite). Even Zlatan’s patented laugh and smile fit just right. It is precisely this originality that is the ultimate strength of the film. Everything feels real and takes place in the places where Zlatan was already. Just that little gravel field where he stood for hours and kicked the ball made a small but important touch. Also Sidomir Glesovich In the role of Father Shafiq he feels authentic and laughs several times.
