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

Hjem (English: Home) is a Norwegian drama series that aired in 2012 and 2013 on NRK. Its setting is the village of Vestfossen, where a father admits to his daughter that two other women in Vestfossen are her half-sisters. The three half-sisters are played by Jannike Kruse, Heidi Ruud Ellingsen and Kaia Varjord. The drama focuses on handling of smalltown secrets, and was NRK's next major feelgood drama production after Himmelblå (English: Blue sky). At the premiere, the series was given a "die throw" (a Norwegian review method where 1 is the lowest score and 6 is the highest) of 4 in Aftenposten and in Bergens Tidende; and 3 in VG and in Dagbladet.
