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.

Filmen handler om en ung kvinne i slutten av 20-årene som slippes ut av fengsel etter en lang straff for ran og drap. Tilbakeblikk på hennes liv avdekker årsakssammenhengen til hennes kriminalitet. Hovedrollen spilles av Marianne Krogh. Regi er ved Carl Jørgen Kiønig. Produksjonen er basert på Marsha Normans skuespill Getting Out fra 1978.
