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.

How it feels

Two well-fed families live comfortably in a lush tree, relying on thin and hungry workers to make the tree grow. The families start fighting, production becomes messy, and a war breaks out, while a boy and a girl from each family fall in love and escape to join the oppressed.

What happens

Naboer er en animationsfilm instrueret af Morten Thorning, Kristian Paludan efter manuskript af Kristian Paludan. Tegnefilm. En fortælling om to familier, der lever fedt og godt i et stort, frodigt træ. De producerer på livet løs og lægger vægt på, at børnene får de rigtige og fine vaner. Og de lever fedt af en arbejdskraft, som udgøres af magre og sultne arbejdere, der får træet til at gro. Men familierne begynder at bekæmpe hinanden, produktionen sviner, og det hele bryder ud i regulær kamp. Børnene ' drengen fra den ene og pigen fra den anden familie ' forelsker sig i hinanden og flygter sammen ned til de undertrykte. En allegori om den jord, vi er fælles om. Til undervisning.
