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.

What happens

Havøy er en norsk familieserie i seks deler som gikk på NRK Fjernsynet i 1976. Serien var en samproduksjon mellom Centralfilm og NRK, og ble stort sett skapt av de samme folkene som skapte Ante. Serien handler om den lille øya Havøy, som er truet av fraflytning. Barna er ivrigst i kampen mot fraflytting og iverksetter tiltak når skolen trues med nedleggelse. Alle episodene er avsluttende og skildrer det dagligdagse livet på øya. Serien har politiske undertoner der kampen mot sentraliseringen er viktig. Den ble sendt i reprise i 1977 og 1987. Den ble forøvrig solgt til Sverige, Jugoslavia, England og Vest-Tyskland. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
