DESCRIPTION
A remarkably gifted boy is the apple of his domineering mother’s eye. Their bond is unbreakable and together they stand against the whole world. But there is more than meets the eye… While he just wants to be an ordinary teenager, his mother forces him to take part in an international scientific contest. While he dreams of having friends and his first girlfriend, she moves them to a different city to study at the university. Everything changes when suddenly a man appears in their lives and the young genius stops being in the center of the world. The Erlprince is the latest film of Kuba Czekaj, one of the most interesting young filmmakers in Poland.
