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

Strawberries Need Rain is a 1970 film directed by Larry Buchanan and starring Les Tremayne and Monica Gayle. The film was inspired by the works of Ingmar Bergman, and Buchanan allegedly persuaded some theatre owners to advertising it as a Bergman film. It was shot in various German towns in the Texas Hill Country. Buchanan described the story as "essentially European in nature". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
