King Of The Wanderers

When Meissy’s (11) father reappears in their town after years of absence, she’s immediately thrilled. Going against her mother Lucy’s wishes, she secretly visits him and is enchanted by his colorful, wandering life on the streets, full of fantasy, origami cranes, and special encounters. But then she discovers what her mother had been warning her about: her father is a schizophrenic and he suffers from hallucinations and grandiose delusions. King of the Wanderers is a magical coming-of-age film that makes complex themes accessible to a young audience in a lighthearted way, without losing its raw edge.
