Det biografiske krigsdrama 'A Hidden Life' handler om den østrigske Franz Jägerstätter, der nægter at kæmpe for nazisterne under 2. Verdenskrig. Franz lever som bonde i landsbyen Radegund med sin kone og tre små døtre. Det er et simpelt og lykkeligt liv, men da krigen bryder ud, splintres idyllen. Den østrigske bonde kommer nemlig langsomt til den erkendelse, at han ikke kan støtte Hitlers sag. Alle omkring ham ved, at forræderi betyder skam, isolation og i værste fald døden. Men Franz’ samvittighed lader ham ikke hæve armen til et ”Heil Hitler”. Også selvom han har alt at leve for.

'PROTO' is a sci-fi action adventure, about a child-like, experimental robot, set in the robotics lab where he has been built. Although PROTO has been made to fulfill the ambitions of his creator, Prof. Andrews, he learns to find his own dreams and ambitions, and also the strength needed to realise them. The main theme of the film is freedom, both literal and in the ability to choose one's own destiny - to break free of expectations. We wish for the film, while an exciting and fun science fiction, to also capture a magical sense of wonder. PROTO will overcome the expectations and restrictions placed on him and discovering his true self.
