Families of France takes us to Lyon, where we visit 10 year old Emilien and his family. Emilien and his two sisters live alternate weeks between their parents, who are divorced. His father, a laboratory technician, tests washing machines, and his mother is a professional musician. Viewers see Emilien and his siblings at both their mother and father’s apartments, at school, playing basketball, swimming, and accompanying their father to his Aikido lesson. Amazingly, there’s still time for a fun sing-along with their cousins. We also meet 9 year old Camille, whose family runs a vineyard and winery in Beaujolais. We see the sumptuous school meal prepared by nearby restaurant, hear students recite Moliere, visit the vineyards and a local bakery, accompany Camille to her riding lesson, witness a demonstration by doctors and teachers, and join the family celebration of Three Kings Day. __________________________________________________________________________________ Awards: Multi award winning series including Parent Choice & Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Award. __________________________________________________________________________________ Format: VHS PAL; Closed caption; approx. running time 30 minutes.
