Winter on the Swedish island of Oland in the southern Baltic is bleak and lonely for the small resident population. But the inhabitants know that with the first sign of spring visitors will return and both the bird houses and the holiday cottages will again have guests for the summer.
This Swedish television film portrays the colour and activity of life in Oland through the seasons of the year for both the animal and human populations.

A series of seven films

This film, made by Bavarian Television, is an examination of the surviving evidence of a remote period in German history: the century of the Ottonian Emperors, 1,000 years ago.
Descendants of Charlemagne, the Ottonians tried to re-establish the Roman Empire under German rule. Through their patronage a large number of works of art of great beauty were created. This film brings these objects together from museums all over the world, to try to understand the ideas behind Ottonian civilisation.
