Summaries

The Svensson family lives in farm called Katthult in Sweden - father, mother, daughter Ida and son Emil. Emil's kindness and energy make him interfere with everything around him but the results are usually not what he initially wanted.

One of the iconic Latvian movies. Based on Astrid Lindgren's book 'Emil of Lönneberga'. A story of a little boy, Emil, who, according to others is incredibly naughty, but actually Emil is a lot more kind hearted than all the rest. And everything he does is to help someone. But somehow it all the time turns out like a prank. His family won't agree with any pranks on themselves, so there goes Emil in his father's tool shed, where he's locked up for every prank. Includes the phrase - 'the main idea is to keep your feet warm', which has been adapted in Latvian culture, so it's already a saying.—Kristine Gi
