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

Teresa (subtitled The Story of a Bride) is a 1951 American romantic war drama film directed by Fred Zinnemann for Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. It stars Pier Angeli in her English-language debut and John Ericson in his film debut. Patricia Collinge, Peggy Ann Garner, Ralph Meeker and Rod Steiger (also in his debut) play supporting roles. The film follows the relationship between a young American G.I. (Ericson) and his Italian wife (Angeli), who meet during the Italian campaign of World War II. Back in the United States, the couple's relationship is challenged by post-traumatic stress disorder and the pressures of domestic life. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
