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
Ama, Ina, Anak (English: Father, Mother, Child) is a 1996 Philippine family drama film written and directed by Jose Javier Reyes. Starring Maricel Soriano, Edu Manzano, and Angelica Panganiban in lead roles, with the supporting cast including Jolina Magdangal, Rico Yan, Boots Anson-Roa, and Jackie Lou Blanco, it tells the story of a married couple who decided to adopt a child after having undergone unsuccessful attempts to conceive one. However, years later, as the adopted child grows up, her adoptive parents have a child of their own. Produced and distributed by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on February 29, 1996, and reunites former husband-and-wife Maricel Soriano and Edu Manzano since they last appeared together two years earlier in Separada, another Star Cinema-produced film. It is also the second film in which Soriano and Angelica Panganiban act together. In 2022, the film's digitally restored and remastered version was released. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
