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

《妈妈再爱我一次》（英語：My Beloved）是1988年發行上映的台灣電影，由陈朱煌执导，改编自台湾的民间故事《疯女十八年》。此片是低成本伦理悲剧片，在台灣公映時并沒有得到觀眾重視，放映幾天就下片；不過1990年時影片意外在中國大陆因觀眾口碑造成轟動，首先是在武漢熱起來，接下來是上海，全國聯映是在同年9月份，當時造成萬人空巷的觀影盛況。到1990年底，共發行397個拷貝，觀眾人數超過2億，票房上億人民幣，若換算為今日票價，約100億人民幣的驚人總票房。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
