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

Noget med mennesker er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Marianne Kjær, der også har skrevet filmens manuskript. Et billede af arbejdet som hjemmehjælper, der viser de vigtigste sider af den opgave, det er at yde god bistand, pleje og omsorg til andre mennesker. Samarbejdet mellem borger og hjælper vises – og hvor afgørende det er, at hjælperen har de rette personlige forudsætninger og er åben overfor det menneske, der skal hjælpes. Hvordan er det at være fremmed i andre menneskers hjem og samtidig være deres hjælper? Forskelle og ligheder i de gamles livsformer, kultur og familiemønstre kommer også klart frem.
