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

，是一部在1962年上映的台灣電影，由自立電影公司所出品，李行導演所執導，魏平澳、戽斗、穆虹、楊月帆等人主演。 外省籍的中醫師陳奚亭育有兩子增宏、增良，以及小女兒小俐。陳家從中國大陸遷居來台灣，並在本省籍的西醫師黃習明的診所隔壁開業。 而黃習明除了育有兩子武雄、小龍、女兒美智以外，還有一個童養媳的阿菊。這兩家，一個本省、一個外省，語言根本不通，再加上中、西醫的技術不同，雖然表面上相處得融洽，但彼此間還是有著許多嫌隙。 起初，大家也都禮尚往來、相安無事，然而就在這兩家的年輕人彼此看對了眼，衝突也因此而引爆。 最後，在黃、陳家的喜宴上一片和樂融融，陳奚亭、黃習明也划起了酒拳，更一同比出「兩相好」的手勢，象徵著本省、外省一家親。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
