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
A comedy trio performs as themselves in a Danish Christmas calendar series. Each day in December until Christmas Eve brings a new episode full of music and humor.

What happens
The Julekalender (The Christmas Calendar) is a julekalender that originally aired before Christmas 1991. A Norwegian version was made in 1994, and a Finnish version appeared in 1997. It was written and performed almost entirely by a trio of Danish comedy musicians called De Nattergale with financial and technical assistance from TV2, a Danish television company. It was hugely successful at the time, causing many invented phrases from the series to enter popular culture and was later released on VHS and subsequently DVD. It consisted of 24 episodes (one for each day of December until Christmas Eve), as has been typical for most other TV "Christmas calendars" before and since The Julekalender.
