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

En ö i havet är en svensk TV-serie i åtta delar i regi av Tobias Falk. Serien visades i SVT på lördagskvällarna under perioden 11 oktober–29 november 2003. Den var i huvudsak riktad till barn och tonåringar. Serien var oftast dramatisk, med sitt fokus på människor som flytt från krig och stater med totalitär regim, men innehöll även humor. Den är baserad på ungdomsromanerna En ö i havet, Näckrosdammen, Havets djup och Öppet hav av Annika Thor, som också skrev manus till TV-serien. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
