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

Betrayed (Norwegian: Den største forbrytelsen) is a 2020 Norwegian drama film based on the true story of the Norwegian boxer Charles Braude and his family being persecuted, arrested and murdered by the Nazis during World War II with the collaboration of the Quisling regime as part of their operation to exterminate all Jews in Europe, from the restrictions that began to be imposed on Norwegian Jews to their deportation via the port of Oslo on the ship SS Donau to the Auschwitz death camp. The film features key participants in the mass murder of Norwegian Jewry, such as Knut Rød, a senior police officer who collaborated in identifying, arresting and transporting Jews. The film was directed by Eirik Svensson and is based on the 2014 book The Ultimate Crime by Norwegian journalist Marte Michelet. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
