Synopsis
Australian premiere
Wolfgang (Extraordinario)
A box office hit in Spain,this heartwarming comedy directed by Javier Ruiz Caldera is an emotional and amusing tribute to fatherhood that follows the journey of a nine-year-old boy with autism spectrum disorder and exceptional abilities.
Nine-year-old Wolfgang has an IQ of 125, and dreams of becoming the greatest pianist in the world. After the sudden death of his beloved mother, he is forced to live in Barcelona with his estranged actor father, Carles (played by talented comedy actor Miki Esparbé), whom he has never seen.
While Carles rises to this new challenge, Wolfgang cannot stand his father’s messiness and is obsessed with the idea of running away to Paris to study at the revered Grimald Academy. But although Wolfgang dreams big, his biggest challenge will be to get along with his father.
Adapted from Laia Aguilar’s best-selling novel, Wolfgang is an irreverent comedy about happiness, family, childhood dreams and feeling different from others, that has become the most successful cinematic release ever for a Catalan language film.
