Giraffes
Physique, habitat, socialization
The giraffe is a superlative mammal. It is considered the largest land mammal, has a neck up to two meters long and the pattern of its fur is as unique as the fingerprint of a human.
The film shows the giraffe in its natural African environment, describes its diet and social behavior in a herd. Likewise, it gives clues to the decline of the species, and what population protection organizations can do to stop it.
The film also traces the history of evolution. The evolutionary theories of Jean-Baptiste Lamarck and Charles Darwin and their location in science are explained and compared.

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.

Apart from the fascina- tion of computer games for users, the historical development as well as the production of computer games are described.
