Synopsis
Lucijan (13) wants to fit in. He doesn’t want to be ridiculed, so he decides to go skiing for his school’s sports day even though he can’t ski at all. One lie leads to another, and finally to a flurry of untruths that put Lucijan in an unbearable situation he can’t escape.

The film is autobiographical because Lucian’s decision in the script was actually mine. Since the accident, which left not physical but rather long-lasting psychological consequences, I have been asking myself why the classmates laughed at and ridiculed someone who was involved in an accident. I dusted off this story and decided to write the script after seeing a montage of epic fail videos. I’ve been wondering why we like to gloat at other people’s misfortunes and why our society desperately craves videos where we can witness serious injuries.

Športni dan tematizira v času družbenih omrežij in odtujenosti izjemno aktualno in relevantno temo, sploh med odraščajočimi mladimi: občutek pripadnosti, pripadanja določeni socialni skupini priljubljenih in uspešnih v razredu. Napeta pripoved in značajska študija o tem, kaj vse je otrok pripravljen storiti, lagati sebi in drugim, da zna smučati, doživljati hudo tesnobo, tvegati poškodbe ob spustu, samo da bi se dokazal vrstnikom, da bi se počutil sprejetega.
Strukturno je scenarij solidno postavljen, dramaturški potencial bi bil morda močnejši, če ne bi uporabil krožne strukture za podčrtavanje preobrazbe glavnega lika. Sveža karakterizacija likov je živa, postavitev situacije pa obljublja izviren način obravnavanje tematike posmehovanja.
Film je univerzalno privlačen, saj ima močan identifikacijski moment: vsi smo že kdaj intimno doživeli izkušnjo sramu in posmeha okolice, ko nam je »epsko spodletelo« nekaj, kar smo si resnično želeli, kar v filmu metaforično ponazarjajo popularni »epic fail« videi, na voljo na spletnem kanalu You Tube.
