Elias and the Hunt for the Gold of the Sea (tentative)
In this new full length animated feature film about the little rescue boat Elias and his friends in the coastal community Cozy Cove, the story takes place during winter time. The annual winter fisheries are about to start, but the great catch never seems to come their way. It turns out that large industrial trawlers have emptied the ocean of fish, and it looks like ordinary little fishing boats will have a hard time surviving. The trawlers belong to a new, supermodern fishing enterprise owned and run by the tough business vessel The Arctic Queen. Elias discovers what's going on, and gathers all his power in order to save the future of his tiny coastal community. He succeeds, of course, but first we will take part in a story both thrilling and funny, including a hidden Viking treasure, the most sinister villain boat of the year, a coup involving sending all the Cozy Cove fishing boats as scrap iron to China, and the cute minisub Dippy, which becomes a new and important acquaintance for Elias.

It is the summer of 1951. Lillian and Amund Wang have their first and only child. A boy. Or is it a girl? Outside, there's a solar eclipse. The birds stop singing. The parents refuse the surgery which could have made Adrian a complete human being. The apartment in Oscarsgate Street turns into a hothouse where the most horrible flowers grow. This is where the divided Adrian grows up, with simulation, silence, lies and dying love. This is where he learns to know his shamelessness. In the summer of 1966, Adrian overhears the conversation which will sum up and seal his fate. He does not choose the role of the victim, but that of the aggressor: He declares war on his parents, and gathers an energy which proves redeeming, but also perilous to everyone around him, as he gradually loses control over it. A series of events dramatically change Adrian's life in the course of a few autumn months. Are they coincidental, or can they be linked to Adrian? No one poses any questions. Through the role of Oedipus in a school theatre performance, and his encounter with Heidi, Adrian faces himself in a greater perspective, and he cannot avoid realizing his own tragedy. He is confronted with his own sense of guilt and his shame, he realizes his responsibility, simultaneously redeeming and destructive, and he accepts his punishment.
