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

Bo Ba Bu è un film del 1998 diretto da Ali Hamroyev. La pellicola è ambientata in Uzbekistan. Uzbekistan. Due fratelli pastori analfabeti, Bo e Bu, durante una dura giornata lavorativa si imbattono in una giovane donna bionda (Arielle Dombasle), fotoreporter europea inviata nella steppa per un servizio fotografico. Probabilmente vittima di una caduta, la donna appare in stato confusionale e non ricorda nulla, quasi incapace di reggersi in piedi. Accetta l'aiuto di Bo e Bu che la portano nel loro rifugio. Dal momento che lei non ricorda neppure come si chiama, decidono di chiamarla Ba. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
