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

A Piece of My Heart (Swedish: En del av mitt hjärta) is a Swedish jukebox musical film directed by Edward af Sillén and written by Lars "Vasa" Johansson based on music by Tomas Ledin. The title is taken from Ledin's Grammis award-winning song "En del av mitt hjärta". The lead role is played by Malin Åkerman, starring in her first Swedish film, with an ensemble cast featuring Christian Hillborg, Jonas Karlsson, Per Andersson, Shima Niavarani, Johan Ulveson, Johan Rheborg, and Marie Richardson. The film was produced and filmed in Sweden by Unlimited Stories. It was released on 25 December 2019. When interviewed about the film, Ledin expressed his amazement at the quality of the script and said how happy he was to be part of something like this. He also suggested that three or four of the songs are much better than his original. Af Sillén described the film as an "all in-musical comedy" with a great ensemble and big, lavish shownumbers.
