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

『OL忠臣蔵』(おーえるちゅうしんぐら)は1997年に公開された日本映画。 タイトルに「忠臣蔵」とあるが、江戸時代のものとは一切関係はない。 日本の中堅通販会社「オレンジハウス」に、アメリカ最大手の通販会社「JJドリーム」が提携を持ちかけてきた。先兵として提携先から有能な女性マネージャーが乗り込む。提携は無事成立したが、直後「JJドリーム」が倒産し、その煽りで「オレンジハウス」は株価暴落・経営陣入れ替え・リストラの大波乱に巻き込まれる。しかし、それらは「オレンジハウス」解体・売却を目論む陰謀だった。一連の陰謀を見抜いたOLたちが自分たちの会社を守るため、腑抜けな男たちを出し抜いて敵に敢然と立ち向かう。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
