From Antiquity to the Modern Era
How Europe Has Become What It Is Today
A lot of things we take for granted are actually the result of a long struggle. We live in a democracy and determine our government with elections. We live in Germany, but at the same time also in Bavaria or in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania or in North Rhine-Westphalia or in another federal state. Usually, the steeple is the highest building in our towns. And the Pope has his seat in Rome. How has everything that seems so normal to us developed?

Ceramic
Ceramics are indispensable in our everyday lives. We eat from ceramic plates, drink from ceramic cups, use tiled ceramic bathrooms. But how is ceramic manufactured? The film reveals the secrets of this fascinating material! We get to know more about the beginnings of ceramic in the Old World of Egypt and Mesopotamia, about Greece, China and Rome. We gain interesting insights into the valuable earthenware and are also shown the exquisite further development of the "white gold". Today this versatile material is irreplaceable in industry, too. Whether in space or as an easily compatible substitute in medicine, ceramic is applied in many places.
Product Piracy
Counterfeiting takes place in almost all economic sectors – textiles, watches, car parts, machine parts, tools, accessories, software and medicines. Some counterfeits are easy to recognise, others are so well-executed that even experts have difficulty distinguishing between original and imitation. This DVD covers the development of a product from idea to manufacture. Once a product has become a trademark, product pirates appear on the scene.
