The story of a highly-gifted boy.

Vitus (Teo Gheorghiu) is a boy who almost seems to be from another planet. He has hearing like a bat, he plays piano like a virtuoso and studies encyclopaedias at the age of five. No wonder his parents being to anticipate a brilliant future for him. They want Vitus to become a pianist. However, the little genius prefers to play in his eccentric grandfather’s (Bruno Ganz) workshop. He dreams of flying and of a normal childhood. Ultimately, with one dramatic leap, Vitus takes control of his own life…

The drama, Switzerland movie Vitus is directed by Fredi M Murer and stars Fabrizizo Borsani, Teo Gheorghiu, Julika Jenkins.
