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

Ikaw Pa Lang ang Minahal (transl. You're the Only One I Have Loved) is a 1992 Filipino drama film directed by Carlos Siguion-Reyna and produced by Armida Siguion-Reyna. The screenplay, written by Raquel Villavicencio, is based on the 1949 drama film The Heiress, itself an adaptation of Henry James' 1880 novel Washington Square, directed by William Wyler and starring Olivia de Havilland and Montgomery Clift. It stars Maricel Soriano as Adela, the sheltered daughter of a renowned doctor, played by Eddie Gutierrez, while Richard Gomez stars as her suitor, David. The film, theatrically released on June 5, 1992, was the second production of Reyna Films, after Hihintayin Kita sa Langit, reuniting director Siguion-Reyna with screenwriter Villavicencio and actor Gomez. In 2018, the film was digitally restored and remastered by the ABS-CBN Film Restoration Project and Central Digital Lab, Inc. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
