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

«Моя дочь» — советский фильм 1956 года режиссёра Виктора Жилина. Мирский когда-то уехал из города, оставив жену Наталью с маленькой дочкой Светланой. Наталья повторно вышла замуж за Тимофея Кочана, ставшего девочке хорошим приёмным отцом. Проходят годы, Мирский возвращается в город в надежде наладить отношения с дочерью, устраивается в балетную школу, где учится Светлана, добивается её уважения и любви, а на последующем суде о признании его права отцовства находит нужные слова. Однако, вскоре родной отец убеждается в том, что ему нечего дать дочери, — и позволяет ей вернуться в семью Кочана. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
