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

Fenris is a Norwegian TV crime drama series. It was broadcast on network Multi and released for streaming on Viaplay 25 September 2022. Its six episodes were directed by Simen Alsvik, created by Alsvik with Magnus Monn-Iversen, and written by Alsvik, Maren Skolem and Nikolaj Scherfig. Fenris was filmed in Folldal, Nord-Østerdal during September 2021, and is set in Østbygda, Innlandet county near Norway's border with Sweden. It depicts struggles between conservationists protecting wild wolves and farmers and shooters, who agitate for open culling. Lead protagonist Emma (Ida Elise Broch) returns to her home town to update wolf distribution for SNO (Norwegian: Statens naturoppsyn, English: Norwegian Nature Inspectorate) after her estranged father and wolf researcher Marius (Magnus Krepper) stops reporting. In August 2022 teenager Daniel (Alfred Vatne) goes missing; most locals blame the wolves. Other major roles are journalist Naim (Cengiz Al), police sheriff Asbjørn (Jan Gunnar Røise) and his sister Anne (Ingjerd Egeberg), the town's mayor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
