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

Pigs Have Wings (Italian: Porci con le ali) is a 1977 Italian drama film directed by Paolo Pietrangeli and based on the 1976 book of the same name by Lidia Ravera and Marco Lombardo Radice. It was entered into the 27th Berlin International Film Festival. The novel is about the life style, political attitudes, and sexual behavior of left-wing Italian youth. The book was presented as a factual account. In Italy, the book was originally confiscated as pornographic, but it eventually became a best seller. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
