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

The House by the Edge of the Lake (Italian: Sensitività) is a horror film directed by Enzo G. Castellari. The film was re-edited several years after, with the title Kyra, La signora del lago (Kyra, the Lady of the Lake). The director Castellari defined that film as an "awful horror film with a very low cost budget". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
