Who is Vitus Age 12 in Vitus?

Teo Gheorghiu plays Vitus Age 12 in the film.

By the age of 12, Vitus (played by real-life prodigy Teo Gheorghiu) is a highly gifted musician whose parents have high hopes for him in a career as a classical pianist. The daily pressure of hours of musical practice, his over-protective but well-meaning mother (Julika Jenkins) and his father’s (Urs Jucker) precarious financial situation lead the boy to seek refuge at his eccentric grandfather’s (Bruno Ganz) house. Vitus and his grandfather’s shared love of flying, mischief and adventure offers Vitus an opportunity at a normal childhood, something the burden of his talent had previously prevented him from. When Vitus employs a ruse pretending he’s been robbed of his talent, his future as a piano virtuoso falls at risk. *Note: Film is presented in foreign language with subtitles.
