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

Solva Sawan (lit. 'Sixteenth Spring') is a 1979 Indian Hindi-language romantic drama film directed by Bharathirajaa. The film stars Amol Palekar and Sridevi, with Dina Pathak and Kulbhushan Kharbanda in supporting roles. It is a remake of Bharathiraja's own Tamil film 16 Vayathinile (1977), which also starred Sridevi. The film marked Sridevi's debut as a leading actress in Hindi cinema following an already successful and established career in South Indian cinema. She was 15 years old during the making of the film. Unlike the original, the film was a critical and commercial failure. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
