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

Deadline Torp, also known as Torp-Dramaet, is a TV miniseries co-written by crime author Jo Nesbø based on the true events of the 1994 Torp hostage crisis. It was produced for the Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation. It tells the true story of the Torp hostage crisis that took place in Sandefjord, Norway. It began on 28 September 1994 and lasted for two days. Two men from Sweden robbed a bank in a small Norwegian town and a large police hunt was initiated. The robbers eventually took two civilians and two police officers hostages. The following morning at Sandefjord Airport Torp, the hostage drama came to a deadly end when a police chief, for the first time in Norwegian history, gave an order to shoot to kill.
