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

Kampen om Heikkilä gård (finska: Taistelu Heikkilän talosta) är en finländsk dramafilm från 1936, regisserad av Teuvo Tulio och producerad av Adams Filmi. Filmen bygger på Johannes Linnankoskis novell med samma namn. Dottern på Heikkilä gård, Anni (Regina Linnanheimo), tvingas av sin far (Heikki Tuominen) att bryta med sin pojkvän Matti Väliportti (Pentti Viljanen) och istället gifta sig med Toivo Erkkilä (Matti Lehtelä). Det framtvingade äktenskapet blir än mer plågsamt för Anni när Lehteläs tilltagande alkoholism uppenbarar sig... Filmen var Tulios debut som regissör och han gjorde en uppföljare med samma handling, I lidelsens famn 1947. Allt filmat material av filmen har gått förlorat. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
