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

Padaharella Vayasu (transl. 16 years of age) is a 1978 Indian Telugu-language romantic drama film starring Chandra Mohan, Sridevi and Mohan Babu. Directed by K. Raghavendra Rao, it is a remake of the Tamil film 16 Vayathinile (1977), which also starred Sridevi. Like the original, the film was a success, completing 100 days in almost every theatre it was shown in. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
