I looked for something appropriate to the solstice and came across this short film, Between Helinum and Flevum, by Martin Butler. I think it’s from the Netherlands. The Flevum is a delta of the Rhine, but what Helinum is I don’t know. Search engines are unaware of its existence and suggest “Helium” instead.

Have a good one yourself!
And a belated happy solstice to you too! I am splitting the difference between solstice and Christmas. I meant to do that, honest 😉
And that is a very weird film, I like the sentiment: be nice or it’s off with your head. Sounds like a good plan for world order, generally 😉
Found it! Helinum is the estuary of the Maas and Waal : http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=vm2SugMy8C0C&pg=PA530&lpg=PA530&dq=helinum+latin+place+name&source=bl&ots=5Ap5TSfJnG&sig=O6PCuXGLV-LwSgREwldEo14xVO8&hl=en&sa=X&ei=jmbiUtbCN5CS7AbBm4HgBw&ved=0CFIQ6AEwBQ#v=onepage&q=helinum%20latin%20place%20name&f=false
which gives it a nice link with the Rhine delta. Happy New Year!
