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

"정부"는 1961년 공개된 대한민국의 영화이다. 그녀는 부모의 강압에 못이겨 애정없는 결혼을 한뒤, 늘 부부생활에 불만을 품어오다가 우연한 기회에 알게 된 한 남자와 통정을 하게 되고, 그리하여 남편과는 남이 된다. 그러나 정부와의 관계도 계속되지 못하고 그녀의 정부는 그녀를 이용할 만큼 이용한 뒤 헌신짝 버리듯 차버린다. 그제서야 자신의 지난날을 후회하는 그녀는 오늘도 눈물과 한숨속에 거리를 배회한다. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
