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

Provocateur (also released on video as Agent Provocateur) is a 1997 American drama film directed by Jim Donovan, written by Roger Kumble, and starring Lillo Brancato Jr. and Jane March. The original score was written by Mark Nakamura and Mark Shannon. March plays Sook Hee, a mixed-race ("honhyol") North Korean agent who ingratiates herself into the household of Colonel Greg Finn (Stephen Mendel), stationed in South Korea, to access military secrets. While working as Finn's servant, Sook becomes acquainted with his son Chris (Brancato), and they fall in love. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
