investigation agency they ran. What starts as a minor distraction

question he should be asking is the one he most wants to avoid: Was
the accident that killed his parents really what it seemed? An

Enola Holmes: The Case of the Missing Marquess! Now a Netflix
original movie starring Millie Bobby Brown, Henry Cavill, and
Helena Bonham Carter!
Germany, 1945. Eighteen-year-old Zofia Lederman is alive, but not
whole. Her body is just beginning to heal from the trauma of the
Holocaust, her mind is broken, and her life is shattered. She knows
that she will never see her beloved parents, grandmother, or aunt
again-she watched as they were all sent to the left, to the gas
chambers, at Auschwitz-Birkenau. Only she and her younger brother
Abek were sent to the right, and her last words to him were a
promise: Abek to Zofia, A to Z. When I find you again, we will fill
our alphabet. And we will be whole, and everything will be fine. I
promise I will find you. Desperate to find Abek, fulfill her vow,
and rebuild their lives, Zofia's search brings her to their
hometown in Poland and then deep into a displaced persons camp in
Germany. There, Zofia meets fellow Holocaust survivors, each
battling with their painful pasts and working towards different
futures. There's Briene, eager to marry her new beau and start a
new life; Miriam, searching far and wide for the twin she was
separated from at liberation, who was the victim of horrible
experiments; and Josef, who picks fights with bullies and refuses
to talk about his past, but whose good looks and unexpected honesty
draw Zofia in. The deeper Zofia digs, the more impossible her
search seems. How can she find one boy in a sea of the missing? And
if she does find him, how can she know that it's her Abek? After
surviving unimaginable horrors, Zofia must now delve into a mystery
whose answers could break her--or help her rebuild her world.
In the series finale, Timmy Failure and his class create a hilarious film about his life ― just in time for the holidays.
Though I, Timmy Failure, have solved many notorious crimes and now wish to enjoy my retirement, my fans have begged me to turn my memoirs into a movie, an ode to my greatness. I am, however, beset by enemies, the worst of whom is Tom John John, the buffoonish movie director.
What’s more, my father is in town, working at a bar, which is obviously just a cover for our father-son crime-fighting partnership. And my dim-witted polar bear business partner, Total, wants to be reunited with his family. I should have known it would end like this. I expected more.
