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

Tireman, Spare My Tires è un cortometraggio statunitense del 1942, diretto da Jules White. Harry dà un passaggio sulla sua auto a Fay Springer, una giovane ereditiera scappata di casa, il cui padre offre una lauta ricompensa per chiunque la trovi. Fay convince Harry a seguirla nella sua fuga, e i due, che si spacciano per una coppia appena sposata, passano la notte in una camera di un motel, dove ciascuno si cimenta, con esiti fallimentari, nella preparazione del cibo. Il mattino dopo il padre di Fay si presenta alla porta per riprendersi la figlia. Harry esige la ricompensa, e, una volta ottenutala, si dà alla fuga assieme a Fay. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
