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.
How it feels
On Christmas Eve in a small Norwegian town, several different people go through their own quiet dramas and small moments of connection. The film weaves together their overlapping stories, showing how ordinary lives intersect during the holiday.
