Eyewitness
Teenagers Philip and Henning are secretly in love and meet one evening at a remote sand quarry, fearful of being discovered.

Launches end of March 2017.

Young & Promising
The series follows three women in their 20s trying to find themselves in Oslo amongst a myriad of social expectations, ambitions and shattered dreams.
