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

est un film japonais de Keisuke Kinoshita sorti en 1944. Dans un quartier de Tokyo évacué par les autorités durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, quatre familles s'apprêtent à devoir quitter les lieux. Kiyo Furukawa, la professeur de koto rechigne à partir car elle a toujours l'espoir de voir revenir son mari qui l'a quittée voilà dix ans. Son fils Shingo est pilote d'essai, il est amoureux de Takako, la fille de ses voisins et tous deux désirent se marier, mais la mère de Takako a d'autres projets pour sa fille. Zenba, le père de Takako envisage de racheter des terres dans son village natal pour redevenir paysan, ce qui n'enchante guère sa femme. Tada, le propriétaire des bains publics refuse l'idée d'un départ et rejette avec vigueur les prières de Saburo, le mari de sa fille, qui lui enjoint de venir habiter avec eux. Nishino l'imprimeur est en attente de l'accouchement imminent de sa femme avant de faire ses valises. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
