Rascal, aka the cat who serves as a constant reminder that dogs are man’s best friends. Rascal is a true cat. The kind who wears his name well. In the downtown apartment he shares with his mistress, every day brings its own share of adventures and mishaps: exploration missions in the closets, mad love with the curtains, inappropriate cuddling sessions… much to the great chagrin of his mommy, who is often left to perform damage control. But it’s impossible to hold a grudge against Rascal, he’s just soooo cute!

1946: The Dutch have been driven out of Indonesia by the Japanese invasion, but they refuse to recognize the country’s declaration of independence. In an attempt to regain their former colony, the government mobilizes the Royal Dutch Indian Army. When they fail to take control, an unofficial force is sent to subdue the “terrorists.” Among the volunteers is Johan Knevel, who has personal reasons for joining: he wants to find out what happened to his Indonesian nurse. But far from rediscovering the lost idyll of his youth, he is confronted by the complex realities of a country in turmoil.

From the outside, former soccer goalie Gus Kok has it all. The Dutchman now works as a coach in Russia and is about to lead his team to league victory.

Nino would rather be outside playing than stuck inside doing homework—especially science homework. Then he discovers that one of the greatest scientists ever started out feeling the same way: Albert Einstein—the guy who invented that famous formula: E=mc2. And, as Ariane explains, there was a lot more to Einstein than just formulas. Thanks to him, we have GPS devices and electric gates, nuclear energy and … well, yes, also nuclear bombs. Einstein did everything he could to make the world a better place—but after all, he was only human!
