Vitus
The award-winning Swiss film Vitus reminds us that child prodigies are, after all, children. The film is the story of a gifted 12-year-old pianist who struggles to balance his talent and his desire to be "normal." Vitus stars the real-life 14-year-old pianist Teo Gheorghiu, winner of the 2004 San Marino International Piano Competition. Gheorghiu and producer Christof Neracher talk about the film, which screens this weekend at the Tribeca Film Festival.
