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

《枫》,张一执导1980年中国电影,根据郑义所著同名短篇小说改编而来。 1966年,文化大革命爆发,学生情侣李红钢和卢丹枫加入造反派组织成为红卫兵。造反组织在次年夺权运动中分裂为“红旗”派和“井冈山派”,李红钢是红旗司令部的作战部长,卢丹枫则是井冈山兵团文攻武卫广播站的广播员。两派互指对方是被走资派利用的反动派,展开了激烈的武斗。 王老师前往井冈山派在西山六中的据点探查情况,被卢丹枫等人捉住。卢丹枫发现他曾是自己的美术老师,便将其释放,并托他带去一封信,劝说李红钢早日回到毛主席革命路线上来。当晚红旗派向六中发起总攻,最后红旗派占领大楼,李红钢劝卢丹枫投降,绝望的卢丹枫举井冈山派的战旗跳楼自杀。两三年后,井冈山派重新掌权,李红钢被污蔑枪逼卢丹枫跳楼,被判现行反革命杀人犯,处以死刑。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
