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

Semlons gröna dalar var en TV-serie i tre delar av Povel Ramel, Karl Haskel och Lasse Hallström. Första avsnittet premiärsändes 15 april 1977. TV-serien repriserades hösten samma år, men den återkom sedan inte i rutan förrän julen 2007. Povel Ramel spelade familjefadern Semlon Pytting som med den TV-galna hustrun Pontussa, spelad av Anna Sundqvist, har barnen Tillbrekt (Martin Ljung) och Minus (Sune Mangs) samtidigt som han är otrogen med älskarinnorna Tant Raffa (Grynet Molvig), Vipp Smukkeklatten (Wenche Myhre) och Conradette Glossner (Harriet Andersson). I serien finns många typiska Ramelinfall: till exempel fick han i första avsnittet ensemblen från den engelska serien Hem till gården att säga "Gudda, gudda". I mindre roller medverkade Lotta Ramel, Hugo Hagander, Nils Linnman, Bengt Berger, Ria Wägner, Lars Orup, Per-Erik Lindorm, Fredrik Ohlsson, Göthe Grefbo, Birgitta Andersson, Olof Thunberg, Gunwer Bergkvist, Gösta Ekman, Stig Grybe, Peter Harryson, Kjerstin Dellert, Catrin Westerlund, Meta Velander, Gunilla Åkesson, Inga Gill, Lars Humble, Tommy Körberg, Lasse Åberg, Lena Ericsson, Mats Ek och Sven Olsons trio.
