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

Acque amare è un film del 1954 diretto da Sergio Corbucci. Valerio, un giovanotto rimasto cieco durante la guerra, vive nei pressi della costa marittima insieme alla sorella e allo zio. Una notte il pericoloso bandito Leo Ferri, appena evaso dal carcere, si rifugia in casa di Valerio insieme al fratello Riccardo, alla moglie Mara e a due altri complici delle rapine, soprannominati "Faina" e "Mezzanotte". Poiché Riccardo è ferito gravemente, Leo vuole attendere l'arrivo del medico curante di Valerio, che deve recarsi da lui l'indomani mattina: durante la notte però i malviventi tramano l'uno alle spalle dell'altro per impossessarsi della refurtiva e la situazione giunge presto ad un epilogo tragico.
