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

Et Skud før Midnat er en kriminalkomediefilm fra 1942 instrueret af Arne Weel efter manuskript af Arvid Müller. Dr. med. Peter Lind er en ung, feteret modelæge, som trods et udstrakt og velhavende kvindeligt klientel er ved at blive træt af lægelivets ensformighed og derfor pønser på at tage ud på en lang udenlandsrejse for at opleve eventyr. Denne plan synes hans kone Vera meget dårligt om. Peter og Vera er fornylig blevet skilt efter fire års ægteskab og kommer derfor bedre ud af det end nogensinde. Da de ikke kan blive enige om, hvorvidt Peter skal rejse eller ikke, vælger de som opmand modeforfatteren og teaterkritikeren Martin Steen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
