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

Himala ng Birhen, noto anche come Himala ng Birhen ng Antipolo oppure Sa Antipolo, è un film del 1947 diretto da Susana C. de Guzmán, con protagonisti Rosa Del Rosario e Rogelio de la Rosa. Il titolo della pellicola è legato alla credenza che la statua in legno della storica Madonna della Pace e del Buon Viaggio, popolarmente conosciuta come Vergine di Antipolo e situata all'interno dell'omonima cattedrale, sia in grado di offrire protezione e fortuna ai suoi devoti.
