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

Bølgens Børn er en dansk oplysningsfilm fra 2010, der er instrueret af Marica Pedersen og Mia Nielsen. De tre brødre Oscar, Lester og Miguel bor ved Nicaraguas vestkyst. Havet her råder over landets bedste bølger. Da brødrene var små brugte de kun havet til at fiske og bade i, men for to år siden begyndte de også at surfe. Siden da har de brugt al deres tid i bølgerne. Drengenes store drøm er en dag at blive professionelle og kunne leve af at surfe. Filmen foregår i Nicaragua, som er Latinamerikas næstfattigste land. På grund af fattigdom er der stor mangel på arbejde og mange unge bliver fristet af kriminalitet og hurtige penge. Det kræver en stor portion viljestyrke og kreativitet, hvis man skal gå andre veje. Filmen følger drengenes forsøg på at finde vejen til en bedre fremtid. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
