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

Jorden under mine fødder er en dansk dokumentarfilm fra 2007, der er instrueret af Michael Noer. Filmen er en skæbnefortælling om mennesker på opholdsstedet Slettebjerggård i Hundested. Filmen handler om den pensionerede anatomiprofessor Finn Bojsen-Møller og hans kone Meretes vedholdende og kærlige arbejde med deres unge plejebørn. David og Dan føler sig svigtet af verden, og deres tvivl på kærlighed er derfor stor. I Finn og Meretes kamp for at give plejebørnene kærlighed, bliver de selv nødt til at balancere imellem kærlighed og svigt i deres forhold til deres svært handicappede søn Jesper, som bor på en institution. På godt og ondt så har alle en familie, alle ønsker kærlighed, og alle forsøger at finde jorden under deres fødder. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
