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

Ninpō-chūshingura (Japanese: 忍法忠臣蔵), also known as Tale of Ninja Duty, is a 1965 Japanese erotic jidaigeki film directed by Yasuto Hasegawa. The film deals with the revenge of the forty-seven rōnin. It is based on Futaro Yamada's novel of the same name. It is the third in Toei's Kunoichi film series based on Yamada's works. The president of Toei company Shigeru Okada asked Sadao Nakajima, who directed past two Kunoichi films, to direct the film but he declined the offer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
