The colourful story of a Swedish string instrument. The nyckelharpa looks like a fiddle but is hung across the body like a guitar and played with a mechanism of wooden keys. This film, from the European Roots strand, looks at the nyckelharpa's medieval origins, and the controversial campaign to make it the Swedish national instrument despite an association with neo-Nazism.

**** Romantic drama written and directed by Claude Lelouch and starring Alessandra Martines and Pierre Arditi. A young widow embarks on a global Odyssey to all the places her dead son would have loved to visit - polar bears in the Arctic, the divers of Acapulco and a Montreal hockey game. When her camcorder is stolen, the sentimental footage it contains strikes a chord with its eventual buyer.
