Prodigies

Based on an impossibly true story, PRODIGIES is an inspiring debut film by real-life brothers Frédéric and Valentin Potier.

Premiering at the 17th Angoulême French-Speaking Film Festival, this stirring and emotional drama captures the pain of our ambitions, and what we are willing to sacrifice to achieve greatness.

Twin pianists Claire (Camille Razat, Emily in Paris) and Jeanne (Mélanie Robert) have been militantly trained by their father for one single goal: greatness. So when they find themselves under the tutelage of the tyrannical Professor Klaus Lenhardt (August Wittgenstein), they’re ready to be pushed to their physical and emotional limits. However the twins quickly realise that their biggest challenge isn’t the music or the gruelling regime – it’s each other.

When Claire and Jeanne are diagnosed with a sudden aggressive and incurable illness, their sibling rivalry pales by comparison. The twins must decide: will they defy the odds and do whatever it takes to truly become prodigies?
