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

Killers Five est un film hongkongais réalisé par Cheng Kang, sorti en 1969. Un héros (Tang Ching) est chargé par un éminent fonctionnaire (Yang Chih-ching) de délivrer sa fille (Carrie Ku Mei) capturée par des bandits et détenue dans leur repaire, un endroit quasi-inaccessible qui rend cette mission suicidaire. Pour ce faire, il recrute une équipe de spécialistes des arts martiaux aux profils contrastés et aux surnoms évocateurs : le « Rat-qui-Nage » (Ku Feng), le « Tigre-qui-Grimpe » (Ching Miao) et la « Maîtresse-de-l’Arc » (Li Ching). En chemin ils font la connaissance d’un étrange personnage. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
