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.

How it feels

A Norwegian family gets together at the farm for Christmas for the first time in ten years. The parents Annemor and Frank hope for a peaceful holiday but instead deal with relationship changes, a gluten-allergic dog, a romantic proposal, and a dying neighbor. A secret from the past threatens the celebrations.

What happens

Gledelig jul er en norsk filmkomedie fra 2020, regissert av Henrik Martin Dahlsbakken og produsert av John Einar Hagen. Annemor og Frank gleder seg over at barn og barnebarn skal feire jul hjemme på gården for første gang på ti år, men det går ikke helt ifølge planen. Datteren Tessa har byttet ut samboeren Emma med en svensk fitness-trener, mens sønnen Samuel er på randen av skilsmisse på grunn av en glutenallergisk hund. Barnebarnet Petter prøver å fri til skolens vakreste jente på hebraisk, og naboen Nils er døden nær. Det må manøvreres mellom små og store katastrofer for å holde familien samlet, men akkurat idet juleroen senker seg, kommer en gammel hemmelighet til overflaten. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
