Who wouldn't want to have a superhero dad admired by the whole city? They've even built him a statue in the middle of the square! Who wouldn't want to be his successor? The little Hedvig has affirmative answers to both questions. But it doesn't look like she's going to take up the family scepter of the city's masked protector Super Lion. At school, she is an outsider and has only one friend, with whom she plays computer games all day. One day her whole life is turned upside down after she causes an unfortunate accident. Hedwig has to convince her father that she is the right candidate to become a superhero. Her grandmother, who is currently living in a retirement home but likes to reminisce about her career as a superhero, helps her in her difficult battle with her cousin Adrian. In addition to action and humor, the Norwegian animated film also offers an answer to the question of what it means to be cool.

Score:
Fourteen-year-old boys Jordan and Patrick live in a small village in the south of France and are bored to death. The only thing they enjoy is Call of Duty, a popular war video game in which they compete with Korean opponents. But one day, tragedy strikes; Jessica (their PlayStation 4) breaks down. How will they get money for a new one? Influenced by circumstances, the teens come up with a crazy idea: Jordan will fake cancer and start an online collection to support his treatment. Both completely cut off from reality, the boys are convinced that their virtual lie will never reach them. Not in their village, not at school, not at home... Money flows in, but the lie gets out and threatens their friendship. A brilliant comedy with a deep message; it plays with limits and breaks traditionally accepted decorum in the face of the suffering. Vanessa Paradis appears as a mother alongside the talented young non-actors.
