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

L'angelo bianco (internationally released as The White Angel) is a 1955 Italian melodrama film directed by Raffaello Matarazzo. It is the sequel to Nobody's Children (1951). According to the author Louis Bayman, this couple of films "sealed director Raffaello Matarazzo's reputation as king of the Italian melodramatists". The film's sets were designed by the art director Ottavio Scotti. The screenplay was written by Aldo De Benedetti, and the story was written by Giovanna Soria and Piero Pierotti.
