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

Falato è un film del 1989 diretto da Mahamadou Cissé. Un governatore di provincia ricorda la propria infanzia e le proprie umili origini. Alla morte dei genitori, ancora bambino, viene accolto in una nuova famiglia, dove però è costretto a svolgere i lavori più servili. Accusato a torto di un furto, si ritrova in mezzo alla strada. La sua forza di volontà l'aiuterà a tornare a scuola e a non divenire facile preda della delinquenza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
