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 lonely dark house hides a terrible secret. A mother grieves her son Daniel who died in an accident and struggles with guilt and sorrow. She keeps seeing Daniel and his frightening imaginary figure with a sharp razor. A mysterious visitor arrives in the rain who knows the secret.

What happens
Afmagt er en dansk kortfilm fra 1998 instrueret af Martin Schmidt og efter manuskript af Peter Johansen. Det ensomt beliggende mørke hus gemmer på en frygtelig hemmelighed. Fra barneværelset kværner grammofonen lystigt "Det er sommer, det er sol og det er søndag", men barnet mangler. Daniel døde ved en ulykke, og hans mor plages af sorg og skyld. Hun ser hele tiden Daniel, men også hans skræmmende fantasifigur, Lillemanden, med den skinnende, skarpe barberkniv. En mystisk natlig gæst dukker frem af regnen. Han kender hemmeligheden.
