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

Shadows Over Trieste (Italian: Ombre su Trieste) is a 1952 Italian war drama film directed by Nerino Florio Bianchi and starring Giulio Donnini, Livio Lorenzon and Adriana Innocenti. It was part of a group of films made around the time that asserted Italy's unquestionable right to the disputed Free Territory of Trieste. It was funded by investors in Trieste and featured several local actors including Ketty Burba, a former Miss Trieste. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
