Louis Hofmann stars in the swoon-worthy young adult romance ‘Center of My World’

After a three-week stint at a French-language camp, high-schooler Phil (Louis Hofmann) returns home to find that his mother (Sabine Timoteo) and twin sister (Ada Philine Stappenbeck) aren’t speaking to one another.

Not willing to confront his family during the last days of the summer holidays, Phil escapes to hang out with his best friend, Kat (Svenja Jung), eating ice cream and playing dress-up.

As the school year begins, a new student arrives – the handsome and mysterious Nicholas (Jannik Schumann). Smitten, Phil watches his crush as he runs around the track after school, and is thrilled when Nicholas returns his feelings. However, when first love’s volatility comes to light, Phil realizes he must deal with the problems of his past in order to deal with the issues of his present.

Based on author Andreas Steinhofel’s award-winning young adult novel and featuring a swoon-worthy lead performance from Louis Hofmann, a super-cute German actor who has made an international splash over the past few years in popular shows like Masters of the Air, Dark and All the Light We Cannot See, Center of My World is a gorgeously-crafted, sun-kissed ode to friendship, family bonds and first love.
