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

Isabella for real er en dansk ungdomsfilm fra 2011, der er instrueret af Mette-Ann Schepelern. Isabella bliver snart 18 år men har ikke rigtig lyst til at blive voksen. Hun føler, at hun allerede har været voksen én gang. Nemlig da hun var yngre, men dengang led hendes mor af en alvorlig psykisk sygdom. Dengang måtte Isabella træde til og blandt andet tage sig meget af sine yngre brødre. Nu er tingene mere stabile, og derfor vil Isabella gerne bare være ung, slå sig løs og have det sjovt. Det er bare svært at realisere, når hun samtidig skal tage kørekort, passe gymnasiet og arbejde i familiens nye Drive In Bio. Alt dette giver konflikter med moren, som hun er tæt knyttet til. Isabella bliver nødt til at løsrive sig. Men hvordan gør hun det, når mor er hendes nærmeste fortrolige - og sindslidende på samme tid? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
