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

Ramu is a 1968 Indian Telugu-language drama film produced by AVM Productions and directed by A. C. Tirulokchandar. The film stars N. T. Rama Rao and Jamuna with Master Rajkumar in the title role reprising his role from the Tamil film. The film's music was composed by R. Govardhanam. It is a remake of the Tamil film of the same name (1966), which was based on the Hindi film Door Gagan Ki Chhaon Mein (1964) which was not successful. However, this telugu film was a silver jubilee hit. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
