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

Paimen, piika ja emäntä (Vi kämpa för fädernesgården) on suomalainen mustavalkoinen draamaelokuva vuodelta 1938. Se perustuu Auni Nuolivaaran romaaniin Isäntä ja emäntä (1937). Elokuva sijoittuu 1900-luvun vaihteen Pohjois-Hämeeseen Längelmäen Västilään. Ukonniemen Katri saa piian paikan Ruuhiniemestä, jonka isännyydestä käydään rajua taistelua. Katri auttaa taistelussa talon tosiasiallista isäntää, Santeria. Pahin vihollinen on juonitteleva kauppias Tervola, joka yrittää saada Ruuhiniemen hallintaansa. Katrin lemmenhaaveita Santerin suhteen uhkaa puolestaan Santerin aikomus naida muuan Annastiina. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
