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

《林投姐》（英語：The Revenge Ghost of the Tree），為1988年由丁善璽執導的電影作品，改編自台灣民間廣傳清代台灣四大奇案之一的林投姐傳說。相較於較為民間流傳中較常見的望夫版本及負心漢版本，此電影版將女主角自縊的劇情改為遭人殺害後懸吊於林投樹，更加突顯出其悲哀與無奈。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
