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

What happens
Smertens børn er en dansk film fra 1977, der er instrueret af Christian Braad Thomsen. Kaj og Gerda er to eventyrfigurer hvis liv styres på bedste vis af den gamle digter. Men en dag sker det uafvendelige: den gamle eventyrdigter synker sammen ved sit arbejdsbord og er død. Kaj og Gerda mærker hans død som et vindpust så koldt at deres hjerter nær fryser til is. De står nu helt alene i verden og må selv vælge og skabe deres liv i stedet for at få dets mening foræret af den gamle digter.Denne beskrivelse stammer fra Det Danske Filminstituts Filmdatabase.
