Coco Farm
Twelve-year-old Max reluctantly gives up the pawn shop in his garage and moves to the countryside with his father. Financial difficulties have forced the two of them to leave Montréal. Max doubts that his impressive entrepreneurial spirit will be able to thrive in a rural setting. However, it doesn’t take long for a new business idea to emerge. At breakfast, he realizes that the eggs from the farm taste much better than those from factory farming. Together with his cousin Charles, he decides to start the animal-friendly Coco Farm.
A business plan quickly takes shape. The barn is converted into an innovative, animal-friendly shelter for the hens. YouTuber Alice handles the publicity on social media. But despite their enthusiasm, ingenuity, and growing support from the village community, Max and his friends repeatedly run into the bureaucratic and economic obstacles of the free market.
COCO FARM has won multiple awards; among other honors, the Canadian production received the Special Prize from Mitteldeutscher Rundfunk at the Schlingel – International Film Festival for Children and Young Audiences 2023.

My friend Barry
In the heart of the picturesque Swiss Alps, 12-year-old Georg finds himself stranded with the monks at the Great St. Bernard Pass. Everything is new to him: the cold, the silence, and the unfamiliar monastic life. But soon Georg discovers that this special place is full of little wonders. He finds solace in his friendship with the lively Resi and, above all, with a frail St. Bernard puppy whom he secretly cares for and who later becomes famous as the avalanche dog Barry.
The film intertwines Georg’s story with the legend—inspired by historical events—of the most famous avalanche dog, who saved numerous people in the early 19th century and remains a symbol of courage and compassion to this day.
D/CH 2025, 97 minutes, FSK: 0+, recommended for ages 9 and up
Lioness - The Lioness
Life is wonderful for 14-year-old Rosi in sunny Suriname: after school, she spends her days showing the boys and girls on the soccer field what she’s made of. So she’s not at all thrilled when her family moves to the Netherlands and she has to leave her familiar life behind. But sports help Rosi settle into her new home. She befriends Jitte, who takes her to practice with the school’s girls’ soccer team. There, Rosi proves her skills, quickly makes new friends, and feels at home. Just as she’s really getting back on track, her teammates start to get jealous—especially when Jitte is benched and Rosi takes the field instead...
A rousing film about a strong girl and the unifying power of soccer.
