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

Aqualorius er en børnefilm fra 2009 instrueret af Nikolaj Tarp efter eget manuskript. For 20 år siden forsvandt to drenge i svømmehallen på Hulgårdsskolen. Blandt eleverne går der historier om, at der på bunden af bassinet lever et monster. Skolens mobbeoffer, 11-årige Lars, har skrevet et kærestebrev til den ældre pige, Sherin. Da Sherins kæreste, skolens værste skurk, finder brevet, tvinger han Lars til at svømme ned på bunden af svømmehallen efter en skinnende mønt. Men Lars er overbevist om, at monsteret Aqualorius venter i dybet... (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
