Six-year-old Damian Ul seeks the father who abandoned his working-class family years before in a Polish comedy drama set during summer in a provincial town. The film benefits strongly from Ul’s attractive natural performance and engaging characters, notably Ewelina Walendziak as his feisty sister. While Tricks is stronger on atmosphere and characterisation than on plotting it is gently entertaining nonetheless.
