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

Kids from Shaolin, also known as Shaolin Temple 2: Kids from Shaolin, is a 1984 kung fu comedy film directed by Chang Hsin-yen. A Hong Kong-Chinese co-production, it stars Jet Li, Yu Chenghui, Yu Hai and Ding Lan from the original 1982 Shaolin Temple film, which is also directed by Chang. However, the plot has no relation to the first film, and Kids from Shaolin is a sequel to the original in name only. Like Shaolin Temple, the plot of Kids From Shaolin combines martial arts, comedy and romance elements. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
