Pippin follows a restless prince pulled into a world of spectacle by the Leading Player as he searches for something “completely fulfilling.” Along the way, he clashes with his swaggering father Charlemagne, his power-hungry stepmother Fastrada, his reckless brother Lewis, and his wise and humorous grandmother Berthe, and finds unexpected joy with young widow Catherine and her son Theo. A vibrant journey of purpose and temptation, Pippin is an exploration of what it really means to live an extraordinary life.
