A young prince, longing to find passion and purpose in his life, embarks on an adventure filled with war games, romantic entanglements, and political intrigue. He soon finds that true happiness may be more complicated than he thought. Pippin is a humorous coming-of-age story about identity and the danger of false appearances.
