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
Velsignelsen er en film instrueret af Heidi Maria Faisst efter eget manuskript. Katrine og Andreas er et par i starten af 30'erne. De bliver forældre for første gang til en yndig lille pige. Alt er tilsyneladende glæde og idyl, lige til Andreas må tage til Amsterdam nogle dage med sit arbejde. Katrine har svært ved sin rolle som mor og rækker ud efter sin egen mor Lise for at få hjælp. Men det, der skulle have været en hjælp og en støtte for Katrine, bliver til en kamp. En kamp for at skabe et bånd til sin nyfødte datter og samtidig forsøge at finde vejen gennem et snørklet og betændt forhold til sin dominerende mor. Katrine prøver at finde sin plads i en ny tilværelse, der langsomt synes at gå i opløsning. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
