“King Otto” is the incredible story of how Greece and “King” Otto changed the history of football in 2004! In the summer of that year, the world watched in disbelief as the Greek national football team, which had never before won a major match or scored a goal in a major tournament, overthrew the giants of world football and became the most unexpected champion of Europe. The architect of this unprecedented feat was the legendary German football coach “King” Otto Rehhagel. After a successful career in Germany, he made the brave decision to leave everything he knew and take over a team that until then was considered an eternal underdog. This film is the story of how two different cultures united, found a common language and wrote a new chapter in Greek mythology.

Narrated by Jean-Marc Barr, the actor who successfully portrayed Mayol in The Big Blue, the film is interwoven with rare film archives from the 50s onwards, along with stunning contemporary underwater photography.

"Biba Struja" is an incredible story about a man from Serbia whose life was changed by electricity. The main character is a person who can fry a hot dog with his bare hands in an attempt to become the first human laser.
