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.

What happens

Voi meitä! Anoppi tulee (AKAThe Mother-in-Law Cometh) is a 1933 Finnish comedy film directed by Erkki Karu and starring Mia Backman, Uuno Laakso and Georg Malmstén. It was based on a popular stage farce My Wife's Family by Fred Duprez. There were three British film versions of the play, in 1931, 1941, and 1956. It had also been filmed previously in Sweden in 1932, and it was the popularity of this which led to the Finnish version being made. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
