BBC One's Our Lives strand tells the story of child painter Kieron Williamson, nicknamed Mini Monet, who held his first exhibition at the age of six. He is already worth £2 million at the age 14, and buyers from around the world queue up to pay thousands for his paintings. While blue-chip companies want him to endorse their products, scientists have sought permission to wire up his brain. But there's a lot more to Kieron Williamson's success than just talent. This is a family affair. With exclusive access to the Williamson household, the film follows preparations for Kieron's latest exhibition. It reveals how his career is skilfully managed by his family. Newcomers to both business and the art world, they have had to learn everything - from keeping Kieron on the level to looking after his public affairs and growing fortune, at this critical moment in his career as the 14-year-old begins the transition from child prodigy to adult artist.
