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

Home Grown er en dansk animationsfilm fra 2017 instrueret af William Reynish. Den 12-årige Darya blev engang evakueret fra en atomkatastrofe, og nu vender hun tilbage til sin hjemby for at lede efter sin far. Da hun ankommer, er alt forandret. Byen er vokset til med fantastisk natur, og vilde dyr er flyttet ind. Darya rejser ned ad barndommens sti, og i den overvældende by lykkedes det at finde hendes far. Men også han er fuldstændig forandret, og det tvinger Darya til at efterlade hendes fortid bag hende, og forsøge at passe ind i en ny verden. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
