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

La Première Pluie (en coréen classique 草雨, ou 초우 en graphie vulgarisée) est un film coréen réalisé par Chŏng Chin-u, sorti en 1966. Témoignant de la « nouvelle sensibilité cinématographique » du réalisateur, il appartient au genre des films sur la jeunesse, particulièrement populaire dans la seconde moitié des années 1960, reflétant l'influence étrangère et parfois considéré comme une adaptation des films japonais tayozoku.
