About A Young Man With High Potential
Piet, who is studying computer science, is as inexperienced sexually as he is intelligent. When he notices that his feelings for Klara, a fellow student, are not really reciprocal, he is deeply hurt. After trying out sleeping pills on himself, he drugs Klara, with unexpected consequences.
Directed by Linus de Paoli, A Young Man With High Potential leans on a strong ensemble — Adam Ild Rohweder, Paulina Gałązka, Amanda Plummer — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 2019.
