Raphaël and Rémi are twins and very close. They spend their time in the skate park and their holidays by the lake. There’s always something to do: boating, catching frogs, bathing in the rain. This could go on forever. But we slowly realise that these holidays are also a farewell, because Raphaël will soon transfer to a school for children with disabilities.

The little robot lives alone in a house on the hill in the forest. One night, kaboom, a star falls from the sky. The little robot likes the star and decides to keep it. But he realizes that something is now missing from the sky and the star on earth fades more and more. It must be put back! But that’s easier said than done.

We celebrate the Sandman’s 65th anniversary! To mark the occasion, a brand-new episode is released in which little Sandman travels the country in his multi-mobile. But there is a mishap when he gets out: The bag of dream sand gets torn and the sand trickles out. The way to the dream sand mill is not easy to find. Quite a number of stages must be negotiated to reach the destination.

A huge, cheeky rat has moved in with the little man and makes itself at home. One day he angrily throws it out. But then he realises how empty and lonely everything is without it.

A huge, cheeky rat has moved in with the little man. It whistles to the music from the radio, helps itself from the fridge without asking, splashes in the bathtub and is simply everywhere – loud, annoying, just too much. When it suddenly disappears, the little man realises that the apartment has never been so quiet – and so empty. A heart-warming adaptation of Nadia Budde’s eponymous picture book.
