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

Fly mej en greve är en svensk dramafilm från 1959 i regi av Torgny Anderberg. Inbrottstjuven Karl Kilian Ledig försöker intressera sin något motvillige son Carl Gustaf för "yrket", och tar med honom på ett inbrott hos skulptrisen Ulla-Carin von Knaake. När Ulla-Carin och några av hennes vänner oväntat kommer hem inbillar hon sig att Carl Gustaf är en modell som hon har anlitat från en modellagentur. Ulla-Carin, hennes kusin Uffe och dennes flickvän Lill slår vad med konsulparet Sluggstedt om att de ska kunna förvandla den grovhuggne Carl Gustaf till en fulländad gentleman - något som Sluggstedts tror är omöjligt. Komplikationer uppstår när Ulla-Carin och Carl Gustaf blir kära i varandra - samtidigt som Ulla-Carins faster Agda, som sitter på pengarna i familjen, blir kär i Karl Kilian...
