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

ارثیه فیلمی به کارگردانی کاظم بلوچی و نویسندگی کاظم بلوچی، محمود سمیعی، مهدی حقی ساختهٔ سال ۱۳۶۷ است. مرد متمکنی، که از خصایل و رفتار دو فرزندش گلایه دارد، قبل از مرگ به آن‌ها می‌گوید که ثروتش را با گلدان عتیقه ای تعویض و در جایی پنهان کرده‌است و در صورتی که رفتار هر یک از فرزندان نیکوتر باشد از طریق آدم‌هایی که وکیل او هستند به وی تعلق می‌گیرد. پس از مرگ پدر دو برادر به جای عمل کردن به وصیت پدر می‌کوشند یکدیگر را از میدان بدر کنند. آن‌ها عاقبت درمی یابند که هدف پدر ترغیب کردن آن دو به راست کرداری بوده‌است.
