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

«Я купил папу» — художественный фильм режиссёра Ильи Фрэза 1962 года. Фильм создан на трогательной истории покупки папы в универмаге непосредственным мальчуганом, который вырос без отца. Маленькому Димке 5 лет и у него нет папы. Однажды мальчик решил, что деньги, отложенные на покупку папы, мама просто потратила на мороженое. Исправить положение он решил сам, поэтому он отправился в универмаг, в витрине которого видел очень красивого дядю, который мог бы подойти на роль папы. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
