goes in search of European style.
Objects of Desire. How is our taste in furniture and interiors formed? Tom Vernon 's examination of the influence of Europe's interior designers ranges from Barcelona nightclubs to Danish lights to Milan furniture stores. He looks at the coffee percolator as an example of the Italian flair for applying style to everyday things. "Italy is the design capital of Europe," says Tom.

Explorations of the I faith and beliefs of people in ordinary and extraordinary circumstances Livingforjason. Wendy
Hayhoe is convinced of the purpose of her son Jason's life, although, at 41/2 years old, he is dying. A perfectly normal, healthy baby until he was 8 months, Jason then began to suffer a series of fits. He was eventually diagnosed as having Alpers disease, a degenerative condition affecting the brain. Supported by the staff at a children's hospice in Cambridge, Wendy and her husband Martin are preparing to face the inevitable.
But this is not a film about dying. It is about the extraordinary strength, courage and unconditional love two parents give as they come to terms with their son's impending death.
