Description: Vitus is a drama film written and directed by Fredi M. Murer. It was released on February 2, 2006, in Switzerland. It stars real-life piano prodigy Teo Gheorghiu, Bruno Ganz, Julika Jenkins, and Urs Jucker.

Vitus, played by Teo Gheorghiu, is a highly gifted pianist at the age of 12. His parents mean well, but are over-protective, so Vitus seeks refuge with his grandfather (Bruno Ganz), who loves flying. After faking head injury, Vitus secretly amasses a fortune on the stock market. The money allows his grandfather to purchase a Pilatus PC-6 and his father to return triumphantly to the company that had fired him previously. The movie ends with Vitus performing Piano Concerto (Schumann) on stage with the Zurich Chamber Orchestra. ( Edited by GamerGirl)
