Dr Janina Ramirez unlocks the secrets of illuminated manuscripts that were custom-made for kings and explores the medieval world they reveal. Part 1: Ruling by the Book Janina begins her journey with the first Anglo-Saxon rulers to create a united England, encountering books in the British Library's Royal manuscripts collection which are over a thousand years old and a royal family tree which is five metres long. Janina finds out about a king who had a reputation for chasing nuns and reads a book created as a wedding gift for a ten-year-old prince. She roams from Westminster Abbey to other ancient English spiritual sites such as Winchester, St Albans and Malmesbury, and sees for herself how animal skins can be transformed into the finest vellum. Part 2: What a King Should Know Janina shows how medieval manuscripts gave power to the king and united the kingdom in an age of plague, warfare and rebellion, discovers that Edward III used the manuscripts he read as a boy to prepare him for his great victory at the battle of Crecy and reveals how a vigorous new national identity bloomed during the 100 Years War with France. In the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection Dr Ramirez finds out that magnificent manuscripts like the Bedford Hours, taken as war booty from the French royal family, were adapted for the education of English princes. She also explores how knowledge spread through a new form of book - the encyclopaedia. Part 3: Libraries Gave Us Power The story of the British Library's Royal Manuscripts collection reaches its end with the last great flowering of illumination, in the magnificent courts of the Tudors. She investigates astrological texts created for Henry VII, and unwraps his will - still in its original, extravagantly-decorated velvet and gold cover. She hears music written for Henry VIII, which went unperformed for centuries| and reads love notes between the king and Anne Boleyn, written in the margins of a prayer book. Nina also visits Bruges, the source of many of the greatest manuscripts, where this medieval art form collided with the artistic innovations of the Renaissance. （转自mvgroup论坛）。影片分成四个小片段，讲述了持有不同价值观和生活方式的两个女孩的友情。单纯、热情的蕾妮特（若埃勒·米凯尔 Joëlle Miquel 饰）是一个乡下女孩，慵懒、阴暗的米拉贝（杰西卡·福德 Jessica Forde 饰）则来自巴黎城里。第一段故事名为“蓝色时光”，讲述了她们的相遇。米拉贝骑车去乡下游玩，结果自行车坏了，乡下姑娘蕾妮特帮她修好了自行车。两个女孩互相产生好感，交谈甚欢，决定一起去巴黎上大学。第二段故事发生在一个咖啡馆中。蕾妮特被侍应误认为女骗子，对她处处刁难，米拉贝到来之后帮她解围，两人对待此事有着截然不同的解决办法。第三段故事中，她们对社会边缘人乞丐、小偷、骗子进行了不同观点的讨论。最后一段故事中，她们打了一个赌：米拉贝是否能将艺术生蕾妮特的绘画习作卖出去。结果，蕾妮特让米拉贝假装成哑巴少女，成功地将她的画卖给一个艺术品经销商。。
