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
After a young girl tries to end her own life, she meets God who sends her back to experience life's possibilities. The film tells the story leading up to that moment, including her parents' divorce, her mother's drinking, and her struggle to care for her little brother while still dreaming of a family vacation to Thailand.

What happens
Lykkefanten er en børnefilm instrueret af Jesper W. Nielsen efter manuskript af Anker Li. Ida kaster sig i vandet, fordi hun ikke kan klare sit liv mere. Gud vil dog ikke lukke hende ind i Paradis, fordi hun er alt for ung, hun har slet ikke prøvet livet. Hun har ikke engang været forelsket. Men hun vil ikke leve, der er kun elendighed at komme tilbage til, synes hun. Vi får - i et flash-back- fortalt den historie, der fører frem til dette møde mellem Ida og Gud. Moderen og faderen er blevet skilt, og moderen er begyndt at drikke. Ida og hendes lillebror Skrubsak, må efterhånden passe sig selv. Ja, Ida må oven i købet passe moderens arbejde om natten. Men Ida drømmer stadig om den ferie, de tre skal på til Thailand - for kommer de på ferie, så vil alt blive godt. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
