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

Metti, una sera a cena (a.k.a. "Love Circle", literally "Let's Say, an Evening for Dinner") is a 1969 Italian drama film directed by Giuseppe Patroni Griffi. It was entered into the 1969 Cannes Film Festival. The film was described as "a bourgeois comedy that trespassed conventional moral limits and presented a picture of—and encouraged—a new freedom of casual sexual relations." Florinda Bolkan received a Targa d'oro and a Grolla d'oro for her performance in the film, while Ennio Morricone won the Nastro d'argento for the best original soundtrack in 1970.
