Paris - the Megacity
Savoir Vivre
Paris is the capital of France and located in the heart of Europe.
France is virtually the only Western European country where life is so strongly oriented towards the capital.
Here, all major administrative bodies, headquarters of banks and companies and the population are crowded together in a small space. Almost one in five French people lives in Greater Paris.
Paris is more than just a capital – it is a global city, metropolis and economic centre.
For the French, Paris is the heart and head of France.

ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK:

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
