Jakub Gierszal , who played Dominik in the film, was originally blonde. With a deep understanding of the script, he took the initiative and insisted on dyeing his hair black. He said that after dyeing his black hair, he stood in front of the mirror and could not recognize himself. When the filming was finished, he shaved his hair.
Jakub Gierszal himself and Dominik, the character in the play, are two completely different people. He likes to read books instead of wearing a walkman. He has a negative attitude towards social networks. He does not play Facebook and Twitter. He will only watch videos through the Internet such as Youtube to find inspiration.
This film is director Jan Komasa's feature-length film debut. When he chose the role of Dominik, the first audition was Jakub Gierszal (Kuba), and when interviewing hundreds of people behind, Kuba had been haunting him. Lingering! The director said that he had been thinking about Kuba during the audition process for everyone, so after hundreds of people finished the audition, he went back to look for Kuba! He said that Kuba impressed him too deeply. At that time, his audition was about the scene where Dominik faced a disconnected network after his father unplugged the network cable. Those people acted crazy, cursed vigorously, and even many of them were unbearable. Earnest, but when Kuba came in, the interesting thing was that he was really a very handsome man. He had a modern appearance. He could not say bad words at all, but when he cried and cursed, you I can't believe that this guy can do this, this is what we have been looking for! Because Dominic comes from the upper class!
