Our ancestors knew the warmth of the Sun was essential for their survival; and in a world without artificial illumination, the cool light of the Moon was critical, too. It is fitting that each of the BBC documentaries included on this DVD starts with a visit to a Neolithic monument. In The Sun, we see the setting Sun on the day of the winter solstice shining through a long, narrow passage into the chamber at the centre of Maes Howe in Orkney; in The Moon, we visit Callanish in the Outer Hebrides, where a group of huge stones seems to track the movement of the Moon in the sky.

A comedy that follows a group of people immersed in Latvia s summer solstice celebration, the shor night of the year.
