Synopsis

Heaven and Hell

Norwegian propaganda film and cult drama about Eva (16) and Arne (17), both from well established homes, attend a class where a professor says that cannabis is safer than alcohol. Together with some friends they decide to try the drug. The start of a drug hell for all involved. The film was poorly received by the critics, but it nonetheless became one of the highest-grossing theater films in Norway in 1969.

Prisoners

Keller Dover is facing every parent’s worst nightmare. His six-year-old daughter, Anna, is missing, together with her young friend, Joy, and as minutes turn to hours, panic sets in. The only lead is a dilapidated RV that had earlier been parked on their street.
