Twigson Ties the Knot
Get ready for adventure in a world of talking tree branches
and runaway criminals
Junior has a rather unusual imaginary friend- a living tree
branch named Twigson (Knerten). It even develops a crush
on another little tree branch named Tiny. Imagination and
reality combine when Junior's mom is hit by a runaway car,
and the two must put their wits and leaves together to find the
criminal.

The Liverpool Goalie
Sometimes all you need is to play your cards right !
Jo is a young Norwegian teenager who has to fight off a local
bully, an overprotective mom who won't let him engage in any
dangerous activity including his favourite game-soccer, and
a budding infatuation with the new girl in school. A movie with
all the right ingredients: soccer and teen love.

to help Nashia remain in Norway. Will they succeed, against all
odds to change the strict migration laws in their country?
