These five award-winning coming of age short films offer a glimpse of how boys and young men tackle life's difficult desires: confronting one's demons, understanding sexual relationships, gaining the respect of one's father, or simply running away from it all. This is only the start of their complex formative years, where not every question has an answer, and not every answer makes sense. The short films are: Boys [Pojkarna] (2015); Ioana (2015); Kiem Holijanda (2017); Picnic [Piknik] (2015); Tomer & Elias [Tomer en Elias] (2016).

When the case takes an unexpected and terrible turn, there is suddenly much more at stake than finding the journalist’s killer.

Пятнадцатилетний Себбе живет с матерью в совсем небольшой квартире. Не состоявшаяся по жизни женщина, едва сводящая концы с концами, имеет обыкновение срываться на сына по поводу и без. Но Себбе все равно любит мать, потому что не может поступить иначе. Иногда, когда Себбе приходится особенно трудно с матерью или со сверстниками, постоянно задирающими подростка, он приезжает на местную свалку. Ведь только там он может найти способ реализовать свое увлечение — починку отжившей свой век техники, которая в руках Себбе обретает вторую жизнь. Но когда одноклассники Себбе переходят грань издевательств и унижений в отношении подростка, Себбе решает защитить себя, применив свой талант на практике.
