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

Min smukke datter er en dokumentarfilm instrueret af Maya Albana efter manuskript af Maya Albana, Rikke de Fine Licht. Mette er alenemor til 15-årige Caroline. Caroline blev opdaget af Unique Models da hun var 12. De spåede hende en stor international karriere i modelbranchen og har tålmodigt ventet på at "breake" hende, når hun var voksen nok. Det er hun nu. Folkeskolen er færdig og tiden er inde til at søsætte Caroline internationalt. Mette er dog splittet mellem sin egen forestilling om et godt liv for Caroline med sunde værdier kontra en succesfuld karriere i en, for hende, tvivlsom branche. Hvis Mette stiller sig i vejen for modeldrømmen, forhindrer hun sit barn i at udnytte en enestående chance. Hvis hun giver efter, skal hun leve med at hendes datter går glip af sin ungdom for at arbejde. Og at hun som mor mister indflydelse og sin vante centrale plads i datterens liv.
