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.

How it feels

A man named Daniel is completely paralyzed and unable to communicate after a blood clot in his brainstem. He is still alive inside and desperately wants to see his children grow up, but his sister and the mother of his children must decide whether to keep him on life support.

What happens

Bølger af tid er en dansk kortfilm fra 2012 med instruktion og manuskript af Simon Valentin Jung Christensen. Daniel er på grund af en blodprop, i den øvre del af hans hjernestamme, lammet i hele kroppen og ude af stand til at kommunikere. Alt liv er tilsyneladende dødt for ham, men inde i Daniel lever stadig en stærk følelse af trang til at se sine børn vokse op. At overleve bliver dog sværere for Daniel end ventet. For selv om respiratoren trofast pumper liv i ham, skal hans søster og moderen til hans to børn, beslutte på hans vegne, om han gerne vil forlænge sit liv. Samtidig kan Daniel kun ligge og håbe på, at de to mennesker træffer de rigtige beslutninger på hans vegne. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
