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.

How it feels

A middle class Danish housewife looks back on her life and wonders about the singing career she gave up for her family. She lives comfortably with her husband and their two children who are into swing music. Her musical talent and good humor help her move past these moments of wistfulness.

What happens

Ta' briller på er en dansk film fra 1942, instrueret af Arne Weel efter et manuskript af Kjeld Abell. Fru Adda Ernst er en midaldrende dame af borgerskabet. Hun har en hyggelig mand, et dejligt hjem og to unge friske børn, Birgit og Hans, der som de fleste af deres jævnaldrende er stærkt swing-interesserede. Fru Adda selv er også meget musikalsk, hun spiller og synger udmærket og går med liv og sjæl op i sin musik. Undertiden kan hun henfalde i vemod over den karriere på de skrå brædder, som hun er gået glip af ved at blive stikkende i sin borgerlige tilværelse, men den slags små anfald går hurtigt over, for hun er fra naturens side udstyret med et godt og friskt humør.
