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

Ka Kee (Thai: กากี) or Unfaithful is a 1980 Thai fantasy film based on the classical versified in Kaki Klon Suphap (Thai: กากีกลอนสุภาพ) written by Thai classical poet Chao Phraya Phrakhlong (Hon) (Thai: เจ้าพระยาพระคลัง (หน)) (c. 1740s - 1805), part of Thai folklore. The film was directed by Neramit and became one of the most famous Thai fantasy films of the year. A fotonovela based on scenes of the movie was also printed. Other Thai movies with the same title but not based on the classical poem were released in 2003 and 2012. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
