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）。36岁的公司职员贝葛娜（劳拉·莫兰特 Laura Morante 饰）性感美丽，但是她雍容端庄的外表下却有着常人难以理解的疯狂与放荡。她与家人的关系格外紧张，特立独行且显得愤世嫉俗。她似乎始终在寻找爱情，却又不相信爱情，每时每刻周游在各类男人之间，尽情享受肉体的欢愉，然而总也找不到可以依靠的港湾。无论是年龄悬殊的老画家，还是故作严肃的同事，抑或是多年未见的情人，又或者是初出茅庐面带青涩的大男孩（Miguel Ángel García 饰），从来无法让贝葛娜做过多停留。她沉浮于世，只有那来自陌生国度的高科技产品似乎能读懂她深邃不可见的内心…… 本片根据Fernando G.Delgado的获奖小说改编。。就读国中的女孩有栖川彻子（苍井优 配音），因父母离婚而转学来到了石之森学园。令她有些气闷的是，同学们皆以诡异的目光看她，甚至对她敬而远之。从同班同学睦美口中得知，彻子现在所坐的桌子，其前主人曾经陷入一起被称为“犹大及其四位妻子的杀人事件”。而那张桌子后面还有一张桌子，其主人荒井花（铃木杏 配音）长期旷课，花也恰恰是彻子现在的邻居。为了弄清杀人事件的真相，给自己起名“爱丽丝”的彻子壮着胆子进入花的家，进而得知了关于“犹大”的种种往事。 以此为契机，这两个性格有些古怪却灵巧可爱的女孩开始了她们伟大的友谊……。
