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

Le bambole (US title: The Dolls; UK title: Four Kinds of Love) is a 1965 comedy anthology film in four segments, starring Gina Lollobrigida, Nino Manfredi, Elke Sommer, Jean Sorel, Monica Vitti, Virna Lisi and Akim Tamiroff. The four vignettes—"The Telephone Call" ("La telefonata"), "Treatise on Eugenics" ("Il trattato di eugenetica"), "The Soup" ("La minestra"), and "Monsignor Cupid" ("Monsignor Cupido")—concern secrets of love and secret lovers. The fourth segment is based on a tale of Boccaccio's The Decameron. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
