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

Morning Star (Portuguese: Estrela da Manhã) is a 1950 Brazilian drama film directed by Osvaldo de Oliveira and starring Doris Duranti, Paulo Gracindo and Dulce Nunes. The film's sets were designed by the art director Lazlo Meitner. It was one of two postwar films Italian star Duranti made in South America alongside the Argentine Alguien se acerca in 1948. Duranti did not appear on screen in her native Italy for several years due to her controversial former relationship with Fascist politician Alessandro Pavolini. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
