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

War and Peace (戰爭と平和, Sensō to heiwa), also translated as Between War and Peace, is a 1947 drama film co-directed by Fumio Kamei and Satsuo Yamamoto. It was based on the 1911 film Enoch Arden directed by D.W. Griffith. The film was criticized as a vehicle for "Communist propaganda lines" when submitted to the Civil Censorship Department, and several sequences were cut from the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
