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

La pista bulgara (Balkan runner) è un film del 1994 diretto da Stelvio Massi (con lo pseudonimo di Max Steel). Al funerale di Nicolaj Fedorov assiste il capo dell'Ente internazionale antidroga. Il defunto era un agente bulgaro dell'antidroga, ucciso in un'imboscata da Sura, trafficante d'armi e droga col Medio Oriente, e ora la vedova Mirna decide di vendicarlo: viene scelta per collaborare con l'agente sotto copertura Marc Fremont, che scopre i rapporti tra Sura e Andrej Solivec, direttore del carcere di Plovdiv. Marc si fa arrestare e inviare proprio in quella prigione. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
