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

Ulsavapittennu (transl. The day after ulsavam) is a 1988 Indian Malayalam-language tragedy drama film directed by Bharath Gopi and written by John Paul. The film is about how innocence cannot be preserved forever and how maturity means accepting imperfections within oneself, in others, and in society while forging one’s own path by submitting to that reality. The earlier one learns to do this, the better. The film stars Mohanlal, Parvathy Jayaram, Devan and Sukumaran in the lead roles. The film has musical score composed by G. Devarajan.
