The hilarious tale of Norbibatchy, an ogre who’s about to lose his job as a monster, but he is determined to relocate and become an imaginary friend.
Norbibatchy, aka Norb, is an ogre and his job is scaring children. With the advent of smartphones, catching kids’ attention is getting harder and harder, and monsters like Norb are at risk of becoming old news…
To avoid this fate, the ogre looks for a new job as an imaginary friend. He meets Lukas, a kid who’s afraid of being left alone once again.
Norb will soon find out that working as an imaginary friend is not like he imagined it would be. Will the ogre succeed? Will he be sent back to the world of monsters, where he belongs?
