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

A 9-year-old boy named Niels stays with his mother at a summer house, mostly keeping to himself and building a model ship in a shed. He meets a slightly older girl named Eva who wants to play games and pretend to be his girlfriend, which makes him nervous.

What happens

Dragen er en dansk børnefilm fra 1996 instrueret af Annette Riisager og efter manuskript af Anne-Marie Mosbech. 9-årige Niels er alene med sin mor i et sommerhus. Helst sidder han verdensfjern for sig selv i et skur og bygger et modelskib. Men den forsigtige dreng møder en dag den lidt ældre dominerende Eva, der tiltrækker ham ved sin charme og sine underlige lege. Hun vil lege "kæreste", og hun vil lokke til kysseri, men Niels er i mere end én forstand bange for det dybe vand. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
