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.
How it feels
This is a Taiwanese film from 1987 based on a well-known folk story from the late Qing dynasty. It follows a man named Zhou Cheng who travels to Taiwan and gets caught up in a tragic tale of betrayal and hardship set in the immigrant era of 19th century Dadaocheng.

What happens
《周成過台灣》為清末台灣臺北知名民間故事，因其特性，也被部分學者歸類為口語傳說。該故事雖被許多學者認為真實性偏低，但於鄉野調查上，大多數台灣人深信真有其事。《周成過台灣》與臺南的傳奇故事《林投姐》情節相當相似。日後這兩與《陳守娘顯靈》、《呂祖廟燒金》收錄於1972年連曉青主編的《臺灣四大奇案》。 1911年台灣日治時期中段，首先以新劇（話劇）完整型態公開演出的《周成過台灣》，經過各種樣式傳唱呈現後，各樣式演出的故事情節稍有差異。不過總體來說，故事發生時間背景都為19世紀的台灣清治時期末期的移民時代，地點則都為大稻埕。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
