The 3D catalogue: film cases on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalogue in 3D

The film shelves have a room of their own that you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real films from the same catalogue when you tell them what you feel like watching. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

It is based on Tatu Pekkarinen's play Klaara ja hänen Vihtorinsa, which in turn is based on the American comic strip Bringing Up Father. The film was released on 5 February 1939. Klaara and Vihtori were the Finnish names of Maggie and Jiggs from the comic strip Bringing Up Father. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
