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

Una jena in cassaforte è un film del 1968 diretto da Cesare Canevari. Dopo una rapina in una banca, gli autori si ritrovano nella villa per spartirsi un bottino di diamanti. Il padrone di casa è però morto e a farne le veci è la moglie Anna. Tra i convenuti ci sono Albert, il silenzioso Klaus, il duro Steve, Karina, che agisce per conto del proprio uomo braccato dalla polizia, e Juan. Ciascuno di loro ha una chiave che apre la cassaforte dove sono custoditi i preziosi, ma una chiave scompare e le morti iniziano a contarsi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
