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
The film is in three parts about human situations. In the first part a person tries to break their isolation and only achieves it at the moment of death. In the second part a perpetual victim sometimes escapes their situation but always falls back into a new painful one. In the third part a man who does not seek contact becomes a gray heap of ashes and dies because he does not meet life or luck.

What happens
+ - 0 er en dansk eksperimentalfilm fra 1974 instrueret af Svend Wiig Hansen efter eget manuskript. En film i tre afsnit om menneskelige situationer: 'Plus' står for det at bryde sin isolation - i sekvensen berettes om et menneske, der ustandselig søger kontakt og først når sit mål i dødsøjeblikket. 'Minus' står for at være fanget i sit miljø - i denne sekvens ses den evige ulykkesfugl, der nu og da kommer ud af sin situation, men altid falder tilbage i en ny ligeså pinefuld. 'Nul' står for kun at være passivt til stede og handler om en mand, der ikke søger kontakt og derved bliver til en grå askebunke. Han dør, fordi han ikke går livet og heldet i møde.
