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

Little Pretty in Boxes é um telefilme estadunidense de 1997 dirigido por Christopher Leitch, baseado num livro de Joan Ryan. O elenco tem Swoosie Kurtz e Courtney Peldon. Conta a história fictícia de uma menina que mudou-se com a família para Los Angeles para dar seguimento ao sonho do ouro olímpico com um difícil e rigoroso treinador. No livro, Ryan reconta a história de ginastas jovens lidando com o abuso de analgésicos e ignorando as refeições, exigindo o corpo ao limite e, por vezes, fraturando-se na busca pela perfeição.
