Though they don’t catch the clown, they retrieve his booty: it’s a tape of Jupiter’s parents, who died several years earlier. The only thing that’s clear in the garbled tape is that Jupiter’s parents were also investigators, and on the trail of something big… Jupiter vows to solve the mystery his parents were working on. The only clue they have is the name Stephen Terrill, a once-famous inventor who lived in what is now called “Terror Castle.” The boys soon found out how aptly chosen the name is: doors open by themselves, gates slam shut as if by magic, things move, slide, crash, appear and disappear. Plus there seems to be a ghost! It would all be too much for the hardy trio if it weren’t for the ethereally pretty Caroline, a little girl who claims she is a psychic and feels a particularly strong bond toward Bob. Unfortunately, Caroline is also the daughter of the local sheriff, who shoos them away from Terror Castle. It takes more than a narrow-eyed, ill-tempered sheriff to shake off the three investigators, however, and soon the boys are back in the house, determined to find out what Jupiter’s parents were looking for – something that is supposed to be hidden in the house. Fearlessly defying the mysterious machines that seem to make the house itself come alive, they penetrate to the secret heart of Terror Castle and come upon Stephen Terrill’s invention: a diamond-making machine! But there’s no time to admire the stones, for the ghost of Stephen Terrill appears – and he doesn’t like intruders… PRESS QUote “Fun and suspense: a fast-paced adventure for kids” (TV Today) SCREENINGS Saturday I May 16th I 4 p.m. I Lerins 1 Sunday I May 17th I 8 p.m. I Riviera 2 TERRITORIES AVAILABLE: World excluding German speaking territories, Spain and Portugal. 8 9 The Orange Girl MARKET PREMIERE DIRECTOR Eva Dahr GENRE Drama PRODUCED BY Helgeland Films in co-production with Tradewind Pictures and Jaleo CAST Mikkel Bratt Silset LANGUAGE Norwegian Harald Thompson Rosenström Films LENGTH 81 min Annie Dahr Nygaard Rebekka Karijord Emilie K. Beck statUS completed Based on Jostein Gaarder’s (“Sophie’s World”) bestseller translated into more than 40 languages SYNOPSIS It could have been a perfectly normal day, if he had missed that streetcar... But JAN Olav just catches that streetcar, on a cold autumn day in Oslo. And on that exact streetcar, on that exact day, there she is. A beautiful girl in a red coat, holding a large bag of oranges in her arms. She smiles, and as their eyes meet she drops the bag and the oranges roll all over the streetcar. She gets off at the next stop, but Jan Olav cannot forget her. Who is she, what if he never sees her again? The quest for the girl with the oranges leads him through winter-cold Oslo and all the way to colorful Seville, where the air is warm and the trees are full of oranges. Twenty years later GEORG receives a letter from his father, Jan Olav, about a mysterious girl he calls the Orange Girl. But what can a father who is no longer alive have to tell his 16-year- old son? Georg starts reading the letter on his way to ski in the Norwegian mountains. On this ski trip he meets STELLA. Through his father's letter and a magical encounter under the starry Easter sky, Georg realizes that he and his father have something in common – the dream of true love. Does Georg dare take the chance?

Together with her best friend, PUPSI the pig, she flies throughout her realm, leaving behind a magical trail: clouds of pink butterflies and sparkling stars! She soon discovers that not all Pinkovians are happy. They complain about the recklessness and destructive rivalry between the fairies SNOWFLAKE, FLICKER and MISTRAL, and, yes, even about low-flying Pupsi's knack for crashing into market stalls or chicken coops. If things don't change, the Farmer PIXIES, the Fisher ELVES and the Mermaids will leave the enchanted kingdom! Naturally, this makes Lillifee very sad. But with the help of her friends Pupsi, BASIL the hedgehog and CARLOS the frog, Lillifee finds a way to restore peace among the fairies and harmony in her magical realm!
