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

Η Μαλάμω είναι μια ελληνική ταινία του 1960, γνωστή και ως Μου πήραν την αγάπη μου. Η Μαλάμω (Σόνια Ζωίδου), μια όμορφη χωριατοπούλα, δεν δέχεται να τηρήσει τη συμφωνία που είχε κάνει ο νεκρός πλέον πατέρας της, υποσχόμενος ότι θα την παντρέψει με τον Γιώργα (Χριστόφορος Νέζερ), τον γιο ενός πλούσιου συγχωριανού. Αγαπά τον Κωνσταντή (Λευτέρης Βουρνάς), αλλά στη σχέση αυτή αντιδρά ο αδερφός της, ο Τάσος (Ανέστης Βλάχος), ο οποίος θέλει να τιμήσει τον λόγο του πατέρα τους, παρά το γεγονός ότι αντιπαθεί την επιλογή του νεκρού.
