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

How it feels

A man gets caught up in a series of embarrassing situations when a young woman shows up at his home unannounced. The film is a fast-paced farce with plenty of mistaken identities and slapstick humor.

What happens

Rookery Nook (U.S. title: One Embarrassing Night.) is a 1930 British film farce directed by Tom Walls and starring Ralph Lynn, Tom Walls, Winifred Shotter and Mary Brough, with a script by Ben Travers. It is a screen adaptation of the original 1926 Aldwych farce of the same title. The film was very successful at the box office and led to a series of filmed farces. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
