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

『突貫驛長』（とっかんえきちょう）は、東宝が1945年（昭和20年）に製作した日本の映画である。『陸運新報』に連載された松下井知夫の4コマ漫画を原作としている。基本的には喜劇映画だが、国策映画の要素も強い。作中では駅長と助役以外の駅員が全員女性になっているなど戦争末期の鉄道の様子がわかる。また、国鉄と日本通運の作業員との協力関係もよくわかる。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
