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

Vita nejlikan eller Den barmhärtige sybariten är en svensk dramafilm från 1974 i regi av Jarl Kulle. Jarl Kulle spelar en tankspridd docent vid Stockholms universitet, som dock lever ett dubbelliv som sol-och-vårare; hans betjänt (Ingvar Kjellson) hjälper honom att hitta offer. Docenten/sol-och-våraren har oftast en vit nejlika i knapphålet – författarna anspelar säkerligen på Röda nejlikan, som ju också handlar om en man som lever ett dubbelliv...
