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

『若草物語』（わかくさものがたり）は、1964年末から翌年にかけて公開された日本映画。カラー、シネマスコープ（2.35:1）、84分。 当時の日活のスター女優4人（吉永小百合、浅丘ルリ子、芦川いづみ、和泉雅子）が姉妹役で共演し、高度成長期を生きる若い女性たちの恋愛観や結婚観、幸福の形を描いた青春物語である。姉妹を演じる4人は全編にわたり大阪弁のセリフを話す。オルコットの小説『若草物語』とは無関係である（姉妹の物語であるという以上の共通点は無い）。 封切り時の同時上映作品は『黒い海峡』。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
