A 9-year-old piano prodigy meets the dad he never knew—sparks don't fly, they detonate.
Wolfgang, a 9-year-old boy with an IQ of 125, is forced to live with his father, Carles, whom he has never seen, after the sudden death of his mother. He has one obsession, to run away to Paris to study at the Grimald Academy and become the best pianist in the world. But what Wolfgang doesn’t know is that the biggest challenge is right in front of him and that is to get along with his father.
Acting
Jordi Catalán's autistic-coded precision never feels performative, always piercing.
Writing
Adapts graphic novel without flattening its prickly emotional geometry.
Score
Piano pieces that actually sound played by a child prodigy, not faked.
Director
Javier Ruiz Caldera
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Spanish graphic novel "Wolfgang" by Jordi Lafebre, who insisted on casting an actually autistic actor for authenticity.
Director Ruiz Caldera deliberately avoided 'Rain Man' tropes—Wolfgang's autism informs but doesn't define his character arc.
