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

Harmoni er en dansk kortfilm fra 2012 instrueret af Andrias Høgenni. Niels vender, ligesom hans to søskende Eva og Henrik, hjem til den årlige sammenkomst juleaften hos forældrene i barndomshjemmet 'Harmonie'. Samme aften får Niels et opkald fra kæresten Julie, der fortæller, at de venter barn. Familien bliver overraskede og glade på Niels' vegne, men Niels, der har et seksuelt kærlighedsforhold til søsteren Eva, bliver tung om hjertet. I nattens dysfunktion under Harmonies tag figurerer faren, Oswald, der tilfredsstilles af at lure på familierelationernes tilbøjeligheder. Niels tager hjem fra julen, med et knust hjerte, og en erkendelse af, at kærligheden til Eva må forblive uforløst. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
