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
The Renovation (Finnish: Se mieletön remppa) is a 2020 Finnish comedy film directed by Taneli Mustonen. It tells the story of a couple, Jalmari and Maija, who inherit a house in need of a major renovation, taking the situation to catastrophic proportions. Sami Hedberg and Kiti Kokkonen starred in the main roles of the film, in addition to which Hedberg portrays numerous supporting characters. The film is a Finnish remake of the 2018 Norwegian film Norske byggeklosser, which in turn is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name. Director Taneli Mustonen says he got the idea for the film while presenting his Bodom film at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas, where he met Norwegians who were excited about the Norske Byggeklosser they produced. He later reached an agreement to direct the Finnish version. The house to be renovated in the film is located in Viljandi, Estonia. In addition to Estonia, the film was shot in Vihti, Finland. The Renovation premiered on 19 February 2020. Despite poor reviews (Episodi magazine and Film-O-Holic website, for example, rated it one star out of five), the film was successful with audiences and exceeded 100,000 viewers in Finland in 11 days.
