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

Vendaval Maravilhoso é um filme luso-brasileiro de 1949 realizado pelo português José Leitão de Barros, sobre a vida do poeta Castro Alves e o seu romance com a atriz portuguesa Eugénia Câmara. O filme dura 138 minutos mas sofreu inúmeros cortes da censura (principalmente devido à temática da escravatura). Eugénia Câmara era interpretada pela estrela portuguesa (cantora e atriz) Amália Rodrigues, Barreto Pereira como Furtado Coelho e Paulo Maurício como Castro Alves. O guião/roteiro tinha texto da autoria de Joracy Camargo, José Leitão de Barros e Osório de Almeida. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
