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

Stolen Spring (Danish: Det Forsømte Forår) is a 1993 Danish film adaptation of Hans Scherfig's novel The Stolen Spring directed by Peter Schrøder. It was the most popular Danish film of the year and the third most popular film in Denmark behind Jurassic Park and The Bodyguard. Stolen Spring was shot in 1993 starring some of the biggest stars in Danish Cinema, such as Frits Helmuth. The book is a collective novel, in that the protagonist isn't a single person, but rather a group. Some critics think that the movie remake has failed to retain this and other thematics, and therefore does not deliver Scherfig's socialist message. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
