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.
How it feels
This is the first film in a long-running Finnish comedy series. It follows the misadventures of a goofy and lazy main character named Uuno Turhapuro. The movie was shot in black and white and made with a low budget.

What happens
Uuno Turhapuro is a 1973 Finnish comedy film directed by Ere Kokkonen, and the first, black and white Uuno Turhapuro film. It stars Vesa-Matti Loiri, Marjatta Raita, Pertti Pasanen, and Simo Salminen. Uuno Turhapuro is the main character of the film, which was created by Spede and Loiri for Spede Show. The unexpected success led to the creation of a 19-movie series. In an effort to save money, Uuno became Spede's first feature to be filmed and edited on video before being printed to film for theatrical distribution. This method was employed by Spede all the way into his late 1980s features. The film was the first produced by Spede after nearly a two-year-long hiatus, when Spede's three feature films released in 1971 (Hirttämättömät, Saatanan Radikaalit and Kahdeksas Veljes) all failed to make a notable profit.
