The Childe

A movie about a boy who dreams of becoming a boxer with a Korean father and a Filipino mother, who comes to Korea to find his father who abandoned him...

@liztai native title is 귀공자 (gwigongja) = young prince, it also says "nobleman"
My german translation says "edelknabe" which is an old word for a young royal (like a boy who becomes a knight)
@bookstardust Young Prince would have made an interesting and better title hehe

@liztai Not sure if this is relevant, but in old-style English aristocratic language a Childe (or Child) is the young heir to a noble, who hasn’t yet been knighted and accepted as an adult.

There’s an old poem about a Childe <insert name> that I can’t remember. What I can find are 19th-century Romantic poets doing a revival and writing about Childe Harold (Byron) and Childe Roland (Browning).
