Ordinary Angels

Based on true events, Ordinary Angels is a story of compassion and the desire to help others. The Schmitt family has endured many hardships: mother Theresa passed away from a terminal illness, and now their youngest child, Michelle, is battling a severe liver disease. Father Ed struggles with financial problems and cannot keep up with the mounting bills. Sharon, a hairdresser, enjoys partying in bars and, as the life of the party, doesn’t understand her colleague’s concerns—even when she wakes up feeling unwell and covered in bruises. However, Sharon’s stubbornness proves to be a strength when she stumbles across a local news story about the Schmitt family’s struggles. She forces her way into the life of recently widowed Ed and sets out not only to sort out his finances, which have been devastated by their misfortunes, but also to find treatment for Michelle.

Luciferin viimeinen elämä

Humanity’s greatest demon wants to become human and learn the language of love. For guidance, he chooses theater director Misha, who has a problem: he cannot find the right actor for a play about the life of early 20th-century Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Lucifer helps Misha find the perfect actor for the role. Along the way, through the art of the German medieval church painter Mathias Grünewald and Rilke’s poetry—both in France and Spain—the duo is followed by the ghost of Misha’s late close friend, writer Pasha. After becoming human, the demon encounters a woman who reminds him of Rilke’s muse, the Russian-born psychoanalyst-writer Lou Andreas-Salomé.

Transformers One

Transformers One (2024) is the first fully computer-animated Transformers movie, telling the origin story of Optimus Prime (formerly Orion Pax) and Megatron (formerly D-16). Before becoming enemies, they were close friends, but a growing conflict between them led to the creation of the Autobots and Decepticons, marking a turning point in Cybertron’s history.

The film explores themes of friendship, betrayal, and the fight for justice. Its voice cast includes Chris Hemsworth as Optimus and Brian Tyree Henry as Megatron.

Transformers One is part of the Transformers film series, but it stands alone as an origin story, focusing on Optimus Prime and Megatron’s early lives before their iconic rivalry. The movie deepens the characters’ backstories and Cybertron’s lore. While it is a self-contained story, it connects to the broader Transformers universe, which has mostly featured live-action films in the past.

Through us, the rights to the entire Transformers series:
Transformers
Transformers: Age of Extinction
Transformers: Dark of the Moon
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen
Transformers: Rise of the Beasts
Transformers: The Last Knight
