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

Frøken Kirkemus (lit. Miss Churchmouse) is a 1941 Danish family film directed by Lau Lauritzen Jr. and Alice O'Fredericks starring Marguerite Viby. The film was remade in Sweden the same year (as Fröken Kyrkråtta), directed by Schamyl Bauman, again with Viby in the lead role. The film is an adaptation of Ladislas Fodor's play A templon egére, which was adapted into an English play titled A Church Mouse by Benn Levy in 1931 and then an American film, Beauty and the Boss, by Roy del Ruth in 1932.
