T.S. Spivet is a child prodigy fascinated with the world of cartography and invention and only 10-years-old. He lives in an isolated part of Montana on a ranch with his cowboy-obsessed father and his entomologist mother, as well as his teenage sister Gracie and his twin brother Layton. One day, he receives a telephone call from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. who wish to offer him the prestigious Baird Prize for his latest invention. He wants to accept the award, despite the institute thinking he is an adult scientist, and so he sets out on a journey by himself, intending to catch the next freight train. Meanwhile, however, he is haunted by a dark secret involving Layton, and he must learn to come to terms with past events.

'The Young And Prodigious T.S. Spivet' is a unique story based on the novel 'The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet' by Reif Larsen. It has been adapted by director and writer Jean-Pierre Jeunet ('Amelie', 'Alien: Resurrection', 'The City of Lost Children') alongside co-writer Guillaume Laurant and won an award for Best Cinematography at France's Cesar Awards as well as the CST Award at the Lumiere Awards. It is due for release in the UK on June 13th 2014.
