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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

Two police detectives investigate murders in Norway from 1975 to 1981. They often get help from older amateur sleuths who give key information. The cases are solved through careful work and unexpected tips.

What happens

Helmer & Sigurdson er en fellesbetegnelse for flere norskproduserte kriminalserier med etterforskerne Helmer (Alf Nordvang) og Sigurdson (Anders Hatlo). Disse produksjonene besto i alt av fem miniserier og tre TV-filmer og ble sendt på NRK fra 1975 til 1981. Utgangspunktet for handlingen var alltid et mord. De to etterforskerne fikk ofte hjelp av de to eldre amatørdetektivene H.P. Brockmann (Ingolf Rogde) og Agathe Skram (Ella Hval), som bidro med avgjørende informasjon til at sakene kunne oppklares. Seriene ble skapt av Jon Bing, Tor Åge Bringsværd og Reidar Thomassen. Helmer & Sigurdson regnes som den første store norskproduserte krimserien som ble sendt på norsk TV. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
