A Yugoslav television report quotes Casanova: 'Nothing in England resembles the rest of Europe. Even the earth is different. Everything there has peculiar properties, the people, male and female, the cattle, the fish...'

Film from Television Ljubljana, in Yugoslavia, starts a new series of documentary reports on the European scene as presented by television networks in West and East Europe.
