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

H.C. Andersen på kirkegården er en dokumentarfilm fra 1996 instrueret af Robert Fox efter eget manuskript. En kortfilm, der i poetiske og stemningsfulde billeder giver tilskueren et indblik i H.C. Andersens forhold til døden. Filmen tager sit udgangspunkt i Assistens Kirkegård, hvor H.C. Andersen ofte kom. Han skrev, at kirkegårdens grave er som bøger, der vender ryggen opad. De fortæller en historie. På Assistens Kirkegård hentede han inspiration til nogle af de smukkeste eventyr. Bl.a. "Historien om en Moder". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
