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

Santo Stefano è un film italiano del 1997, diretto da Angelo Pasquini. Penitenziario di Santo Stefano. Il Direttore D'Assisi cerca di umanizzare la realtà carceraria incontrando però forti resistenze da parte delle autorità. Sul piano personale D'Assisi si trova a confrontarsi con il legame di amicizia che si instaura tra suo figlio Antonio e Nicola, un carcerato che gli fa quasi da precettore. Quando Nicola tenterà la fuga Antonio dovrà decidere se rivelare dove si trova nascosto o tacere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
