From the imagination of acclaimed AMELIE director Jean-Pierre Jeunet comes the mischievous and brilliant T.S Spivet...Enter the curious world of T.S Spivet (Kyle Catlett) and his lovingly mismatched family. His twin brother (Jakob Davies) runs amuck, his sister (Niamh Wilson) dreams of stardom and his parents (Helena Bonham Carter & Callum Keith Rennie) are an odd pair with equally eccentric tendencies Remarkably bright T.S has an insatiable passion for inventing which leads to a surprise telephone call from the Smithsonian Institute, inviting him to accept the prestigious Baird award for his invention. Without leaving more than a note of explanation, T.S packs his suitcase and embarks on a perilous adventure across America to claim his prize in this glisteningly magical tale of fantasy and intrigue.
