It starts like a lecture with slides. A dozen female bodily parts are considered. The legends carefully specify the origin: Anna's eye, the back of Sabine's knees, the knee, however, belongs to Ulrike. The thirteenth slide, with Mary's hands on it, brings us to the real subject of 'C'est ça et ce n'est pas ça': the cave at Lourdes. The place where belief, hope, comfort and commerce have joined gloriously together since the Blessed Virgin appeared no less than eighteen times to Bernadette Soubirous, later Saint Bernadette, in 1858. The expression "It is her, and it isn't" is ascribed to her. She did not, of course, express this somewhat doubting opinion during one of the apparitions, but that was her judgement six years later when a sculptor tried to capture the white lady who the little Bernadette could still see quite clearly in her mind's eye. Not surprising; trying to express the unimaginable in concrete terms can only lead to disappointment. Mary therefore does not appear in this video and we need not expect any miraculous cures. We will have to be satisfied with the material blessings of quiz master Rudi Carrell.
