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

是1991年上映的一齣香港電影，由錢永強執導，鄭裕玲、梁家輝、吳孟達、鄭柏林等主演。 張文靜（郑裕玲 飾）是饱受城市压力的女经理，適逢當警察的男友蘇文輝（梁家輝 飾）每天槍林彈雨的沒空陪伴，所以搬到偏遠的灣仔村中暂住洗涤身心。柏林（鄭柏林 飾）自小在村中长大，本性善良，但其父達叔（吴孟达 飾）嗜赌如命，不大照顾柏林，更常利用柏林纯真求助来敛财。靜看不惯柏達叔对待柏林的态度，与柏林展开一段友谊，兩人上契結為契媽契仔關係。而大陆来港的阿表（杜少津 飾）與同伙介入一宗钻石劫案，但行事失败，误躲進靜的櫃子連同搬运车进村，藏匿在村内治疗伤势，并伺机潜进靜家，寻回丢失的钻石。 阿表见靜被村中恶人欺侮，挺身而出，令靜及柏林对其渐生好感。但同伙却以为阿表吞赃，追踪而至，欲夺回脏物及企图加害众人，柏林与靜联手对付敌人，而阿表更不愿有被捕之危险，与二人联手捉贼。最后，阿表被警方遣返大陆，与柏林依依不舍，達叔亦痛改前非，对柏林多加照顾；而靜在连番历险后，终克服了城市人神经紧张和恐惧，重新面对生活。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
