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
Jul på Vesterbro (literally Christmas on Vesterbro) is a 2003 Danish satire TV Christmas calendar (a TV-series broadcast every day from 1 December to 24 December) targeted adults by Anders Matthesen. It originally aired in December 2003 on DR2, and has since been rebroadcast in 2004, 2009, and 2013. The Christmas calendar is satire on the way Christmas is traditionally presented in TV, by instead presenting drug-addicts, gangsters and religious fanatics, and a social realistic parody on the underclass. It is based on a radio show by Matthesen of the same name, transmitted in 1999 on DR P3. When DR 2 in December 2003 became the third most viewed TV-channel in Denmark, DR considered Jul på Vesterbro one of the factors. In 2004 it was named "innovation of the year" by the Danish Producers' Association. It is considered to have attained cult status. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
