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.
How it feels
In a 1970s Taiwanese coastal town, a group of schoolchildren and nearby soldiers get into silly situations. The film makes fun of strict school rules and political propaganda from that time period.

What happens
Naughty Boys & Soldiers is a 1996 Taiwanese comedy film directed by Kevin Chu and written by Kuo Cheng, set in a 1970s coastal town with a primary school and a military base. While most of the comedy is slapstick zaniness, the film also pokes fun at the many absurdities in Taiwan's White Terror period, such as schools encouraging children to idolize Chiang Kai-shek and regurgitate his anti-Communist rhetoric.
