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

Biskoppen er en dansk film fra 1944. På den lille ø Snarø forveksles provinsskuespilleren Emil Flor (Ib Schønberg) med den der ventede biskop Vindholm (Elith Pio), samtidig er Flors datter Ellen (Ingeborg Brams) inden da også kommet til øen hvor hun hurtigt vækker stærke romantiske følelser i den lokale præst og enkemand Velerius (Edvin Tiemroth), hvilket alt sammen naturligvis bringer hele det lille traditionelle øsamfund på den anden ende.
