Ondanks het vermoeden dat Johnny haar heeft verraden en naar een concentratiekamp heeft gestuurd, gaat ze naar hem op zoek.
Johnny die ervan overtuigd is dat Nelly niet meer leeft, herkent haar niet bij hun ontmoeting. Haar gelijkenis met zijn doodgewaande vrouw is niet verontrustend voor Johnny. Hij stelt voor dat Nelly de rol aanneemt van zijn vrouw. Hiermee kan hij de erfenis veilig stellen van haar in de Holocaust vermoorde familie. Nelly stemt in met het plan en wordt haar eigen dubbelgangster. Om haar leven terug te krijgen moet zij erachter komen of Johnny haar verraden heeft en ooit heeft liefgehad….

New York, 1991. Kruimeldief Tommy en zijn vriendin Rosie zitten op zwart zaad. Terwijl Rosie probeert op het rechte pad te blijven, volgt Tommy de rechtszaak tegen maffiabaas John Gotti. Tijdens de getuigenverklaring van huurmoordenaar Sammy Gravano hoort hij de aanklager adressen opnoemen van cafés waar maffiosi elkaar ontmoeten en waar geen vuurwapens naar binnen mogen. Tommy krijgt een idee: waarom zo’n tent niet overvallen? De maffiosi zijn ongewapend en bellen toch niet de politie! Nadat de overval succesvol is verlopen, besluit het roekeloze tweetal meer maffiaclubs te beroven. Wat niemand weet, is dat Tommy een persoonlijke reden heeft om de maffia te vernederen. Ondertussen hangt Tommy en Rosie’s toekomst af van wie hen als eerste weet op te sporen: de FBI of de maffia.

"Against You!" is the third and final EPsode in NZ’s trilogy. The previous EPs ‘Raw and Pure’ and ‘Aggressions’ are still in the heads and have certainly left a mark on the EBM scene. The title of part three is a propagandistic and provocative call and represents the next level. Again the un- compromising and powerful sound lies in the centre of NZ’s work and guarantees perfect vibes on the dance floor – indeed: Those who saw NZ recently perform live have experienced the vigour of their sound physically: straightforward and puristic body music that makes you move instantly. Every single one of the new songs relives the pure energy and timeless spirit of Electronic Body Music. Tracks like "One of Us" or "So cold Inside" with their merciless power, sharp vocals, strong sequences, and aggressive drums easily build on previous hits by NZ, such as "Russian War" and "Totalism", and leaving you with goose bumps and aching muscles. RAW AND PURE AGGRESSIONS AGAINST YOU!

Dare Make a Wish, out of The Land of Sometimes
The Land of Sometimes was voted ‘one of the top ten audio books ever’ by The Independent, leaving children worldwide to ask for an animated version of their favorite story. Not only are they getting what they wished for, their characters are about to hit the screen in full 3D animated glory!
TRICOAST WORLDWIDE TO HANDLE WORLDWIDE SALES
Always having a keen sense for great films and interesting projects, TriCoast Worldwide is pleased to announce it will be handling worldwide sales for The Land of Sometimes.
Based on the highly acclaimed audio book by UK songwriter and actress Francesca Longrigg, this 3D animated musical is set to amaze audiences of all ages. It was adapted to the screen by Hollywood veteran writer Martin Casella, with Tony Nottage (best known for the international box office success Saving Santa) producing.
Directed by animation heavyweight Leon Joosen (The Little Mermaid, Oliver & Co, Space Jam, Scooby Doo) The Land of Sometimes will feature BAFTA Award winner and Golden Globe nominee Ewan Mc Gregor (Trainspotting, Star Wars, Moulin Rouge!), who will be voicing the enigmatic Wish Collector. Joining him in the cast is the legendary Terry Jones (Monty Python & the Holy Grail, The Life of Brian).
All of the characters have their own songs, underscoring their individual quirky and original personalities. Knowing only a truly great artist will be able to do justice to the ever so fabulous pink fairy, Little Trink, the producers are reaching out to several hugely successful pop stars to voice this slightly mischievous character.
Creator Francesca Longrigg has adapted, crafted and edited the verses of this magical musical to fit a tune developed with her long-term music partner, Charles ‘Chicky’ Reeves, who achieved worldwide fame as producer and programmer for Grace Jones, OMD and – most recently – Prince. Together, they have conjured up an impressive sonic landscape that is sure to make a lasting impression on kids and adults alike.
Eevolver, whose team is responsible for multi-Academy Award winning and nominated films (such as The Life of Pi and The Golden Compass), will be handling pre-production led by Stacy Burstin and David Keller, while UK-based Giant Wheel Studios will take care of the animation. Production will begin in the UK and end in the US, with TriCoast Studios doing all of the postproduction.
The deal was negotiated by Tony Nottage for Nottage Productions and Daisy Hamilton for TriCoast Worldwide.
NOT JUST AN ANIMATED FEATURE
No doubt about it: The Land of Sometimes is a wonderful imaginary world for children, featuring memorable characters, beautiful landscapes and enchanting music. With this in mind, the next step will be to develop toys, apps and other tie-ins that will captivate the look and feel of the film.
An amazing soundtrack has already been created. As soon as the actors have been cast and their voices recorded, children’s radio stations around the world will be contacted to pre-release the songs. Plans to involve the younger fans and make them part of this wonderful world have already been set in motion.
Additionally, an enhanced E-Book will be created that seamlessly blends together pictures, spoken words, songs and moving images to provide a truly immersive and interactive experience.
