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

Johanna Yohanna er en dansk ungdomsfilm fra 2003 med instruktion og manuskript af Thomas Danielsson. Seks års helvede - sådan beskriver Yohanna sin tid fra 1. til 6. klasse. Yohanna ville ikke indordne sig hierarkiet i klassen. Men det har sin pris ikke at give efter for gruppepresset. Yohanna blev mobbet. "Jeg var unormal, og alle andre var normale. Det var sådan, det føltes." I dag er Yohanna 19 år. Hun har bearbejdet sine oplevelser og er kommet ud på den anden side som et helt menneske. Filmen handler om et ungt menneskes kamp for retten til at være sig selv. Den følger Yohanna fra første klasse, til hun tager studentereksamen - fra Johanna med J til Yohanna med Y.
