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

En fremmed piges dagbog er en dansk ungdomsfilm fra 1989 med instruktion og manuskript af Katia Forbert Petersen. Den tolvårige Rolfs oldemor dør. I en efterladt dagbog fortæller hun om sit liv som indvandret polsk roepige på Falster omkring 1912. Historien gentager sig for Rolf, da en flygtningefamilie fra Sri Lanka flytter ind i opgangen, hvor han bor. Pigen i familien, Hari, bliver hans sidekammerat i klassen. En gruppe elever opfører sig racistisk over for Hari, men hun og Rolf finder sammen en løsning mod diskriminationen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
