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

Enkebal er en dansk kortfilm fra 2015, der er instrueret af Zara Zerny efter manuskript af hende selv og Morten Pape. Da Greta mister sin mand efter et langt ægteskab, er hun overbevist om, at hun vil dø af sorg. Det sker bare ikke. Frustreret over ikke at kunne få det som hun vil, bliver Greta mere og mere isoleret overfor sin uforstående familie. Men hjertet har det med at holde ud, og et pludseligt møde med et par livskloge damer ændrer hendes perspektiv. Snart indser Greta, at der ikke er andet for end at fortsætte med at leve, så længe hun kan. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
