About This Film
Film Overview
Brian Kieslowski is an awkward college student reluctantly clinging to his “v-card” when he meets the girl of his dreams, Leslie (also awkward and a card carrying member of the “v-club”). When they engage in losing their virginity together, all seems right in the world for young Brian. Until Leslie realizes she’s pregnant. With twins. THE YOUNG KIESLOWSKI is a hilarious and touching comedy about young lovers navigating through the world of immaturity, responsibility, and impending parenthood. The choice to keep the babies doesn’t come easy to Brian (neither does breaking the news to his parents), but Leslie goes full speed ahead with her decision to keep them… even if it means doing it alone. Inspired by the true story of his parents, writer/director Kerem Sanga keeps the humor and story light while still dealing with the issues that have confronted young men and women since forever. Deftly balancing humor with heart and tenderness, THE YOUNG KIESLOWSKI is “American Pie” meets “Juno,” and reminds us that, when it comes down to it, the heart wants what the heart wants. – T.W.
