Return to Legoland (pl|Powrót do Legolandu) is a 2021 Polish coming of age drama film written and directed by Konrad Aksinowicz.
Like many children in 1990s post-communist Poland, Tomek lives with his mother Helena while his father Alek works in the United States. When Alek unexpectedly returns to Poland, he brings money and expensive gifts, but his alcohol addiction soon takes over the family.
Set and shot in Wrocław, the film is semi-autobiographical and based on director Konrad Aksinowicz's own childhood in the Szczepin housing estate.[1] [2] Newcomer and Wrocław native Teodor Koziar was persuaded by his mother to audition for the role after having attended theater classes for a short time.[3]
