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

Naina is a 1973 Bollywood film directed by Kanak Mishra. The song "Hone Lagi Hai Raat Jawan", sung by Asha Bhosle, earned her the 5th Filmfare award. The music was composed by Shankar-Jaikishan. The movie has similarities with Daphne du Maurier's 1938 novel Rebecca and features Shashi Kapoor in a rare negative role as a high-born aristocrat. Moushumi Chatterjee plays his second wife, who is constantly being compared with his first (Rajshree). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
