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 film is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

La sperduta di Allah è un film muto italiano del 1929 diretto da Enrico Guazzoni. La giovane libica Neschma è stata costretta dal padre a sposare un uomo dal quale, subito dopo le nozze, fugge. Riesce ad ottenere l'annullamento del matrimonio, ma diventa così una "sperduta di Allah", emarginata e disprezzata dalla comunità. Quando incontra l'italiano Ugo tra i due nasce l'amore. La giovane dà alla luce una bimba, ma suo padre, che non ha perdonato la ribellione, uccide la piccola. Questo dramma allontana Ugo e Neschma: lui sposerà una donna italiana, lei continuerà ad essere reietta. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
