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

Barnet du gav os er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Barbro Boman efter eget manuskript. Filmen fortæller om Knud og Helle, som får en søn. Som alle forældre drømmer de om drengens fremtid, men efterhånden som han vokser op, får de en fornemmelse af, at han ikke udvikler sig normalt. De får ham undersøgt, og det konstateres, at han er åndssvag. Først da drengen er syv år, og Helle venter sit andet barn, overvinder forældrene deres modvilje mod "anstalter" og får drengen anbragt i en børnehave for åndssvage børn. I børnehaven som i eksternatskolen kan leg og undervisning tilpasses efter drengens evner, således at hans evner får så gode udviklingsbetingelser som muligt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
