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
An 81 year old woman named Birthe has to let go of her adult daughter Karen who has Down syndrome. Birthe is developing dementia and the authorities decide Karen must move into care. The film follows Birthe's denial on the day Karen leaves.

What happens
Mellem sten og et hårdt sted er en dansk kortfilm fra 2019 instrueret af Mads Koudal. Efter et helt livs omsorg bliver 81-årige Birthe tvunget til at give slip på sin datter Karen, som er født med Downs syndrom, og hvis mentale alder er 8 år. Birthe kæmper selv med tiltagende demens, og kommunen har vurderet, at hun ikke længere kan varetage Karens behov. På Karens afrejsedag er Birthe stadig helt i fornægtelse. Hvorfor skulle hun ikke kunne hjælpe sin egen datter? (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
