Info
We follow Jón (10) and his teammates as they travel to the Westman Islands to take part in a large football tournament held there every summer. There, Jón discovers a whole new side of himself as a football player and finds that he can take on more responsibility than he ever imagined. The boys’ lives take an unexpected turn, however, when they witness Ívar (10), a player from an opposing team, getting roughed up by his father, Tóti. The football tournament turns into a dramatic rescue mission as the boys try to save Ívar from his father. But it's easier said than done when nobody believes the boys. The boys need to find a way to prove what really happened and save Ívar from his broken home. Jón and Ívar, sworn enemies on the field, go together on an emotional journey with both dramatic and exciting consequences and find a friendship that will endure – and a nearby volcano will wake from its slumber.

Chaani and Balu are classmates and best friends. Even though theirs is a drought-stricken village in Maharashtra, the two of them find enough joy in their simple lives. It’s only when Chaani’s mother is given only three months to live that a dark shadow is cast upon the children. Determined to save her mother, Chaani visits some temples, and at one she hears a story that convinces her that if she can keep a pet fish alive, then her mother will be saved. So Chaani catches a guppy and names it Pipsi, which is also the name of a local cola drink. Just as the Pipsi drink stands for the hopes and aspirations of the villagers, so is Pipsi the fish for Chaani.

Score:
10-year-old Jovan has had cerebral palsy for as long as he can remember. His condition has shaped his everyday life and made him think of himself as invisible to others – particularly his parents and classmates. In the world of his imagination, however, to which he escapes frequently, he is free to be who he wants and possesses the superhero powers that everybody dreams of. Jovan's (extra)ordinary existence is suddenly shaken up by a new classmate, Milica. Bit by bit, brave and determined Milica tears down the wall that Jovan has built around himself and eventually invites him to join her on a real life adventure – to liberate her father from his new wife, Milica’s stepmother, whom she believes is a witch. The quest offers Jovan a reality beyond anything he could have imagined, but in order to become a true hero Jovan first has to learn to accept himself for who he is.
