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

Iyo ang Tondo, Kanya ang Cavite (lit. 'Tondo Is Yours, Cavite Is His') is a 1986 Filipino action film directed by Pablo Santiago from a story and screenplay written by Agustin B. de la Cruz, with the title suggested by Diego Cagahastian and additional sequences written by Antonio Pascua. The film stars Fernando Poe Jr. and Ramon Revilla. Produced by BSH Films, the film was theatrically released on January 30, 1986. It earned less at the box office than what its producers anticipated, with industry observers assuming that GMA Network's television broadcasts of past Poe films had likely drawn audiences away from watching Poe's newest titles in cinemas.
