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

Il cocco di mamma è un film del 1957 diretto da Mauro Morassi. Aldo è un giovane e promettente pugile, impenitente donnaiolo, che passa le sue giornate tra la palestra di boxe e le avventure galanti. Ma è anche vanitoso, a tal punto da rifiutare gli incontri più impegnativi per non rovinare il suo bel viso. Finché non incontrerà Laura, una ragazza di sani principi, che lo convincerà a mettere la testa a posto. Per conquistarla, arriverà anche a sfidare un avversario molto più forte di lui mettendo a repentaglio i suoi lineamenti estetici. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
