The King

A documentary about one of the greatest sportsmen ever. Darko Kralj (the King) is the only sportsman in the history of sports who has beaten a world record in his category five times in a row at a single world championship. A Croatian paralympic in shot put, seriously wounded in 1991 during the war in Croatia, Darko Kralj almost died. Doctors didn’t expect him to survive. Today, he lives with a wife and three sons, the eldest one being the one Darko is the most attached to. A similar destiny brought them together: the boy lost his biological father in the war. Tereza, his wife, has her own past. Towards the end of this unusual life story, we shall get a clearer understanding of where Darko’s strength and incredible love of life comes from...
