国会议员一家四口住在巴黎左岸的高级公寓里。议员的小女儿芭洛玛（Garance Le Guillermic 饰）古灵精怪，喜欢透过摄影机洞察世界，是名不满12岁的天才小哲学家。不愿成为鱼缸中命运已被注定的金鱼，芭洛玛策划着一场生日当天的自杀。 公寓女门房荷妮（乔丝安·巴拉思科 Josiane Balasko 饰）是个肥胖丑陋的54岁寡妇。她小心翼翼的维持着门房粗俗的形象，为自己在密室内筑起一个丰富的精神世界。但是芭洛玛隐约发现了这个秘密，新搬来的日本绅士小津格郎（伊川东吾 饰）亦觉察到了荷妮不为人知的一面。在小津彬彬有礼的引领下，不仅荷妮逐渐卸下卑微的伪装，芭洛玛亦开始重新审视生活与死亡。 本片改编自法国女作家妙莉叶·芭贝里的同名小说。。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）。
