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

An Unusual Love (originaltittel: Fei chang ai qing) er en kinesisk romantisk dramafilm fra 1998 regissert av Wu Tianming. Filmen handler om et ungt par som opplever en tragedie dagen før de skal gifte seg. Mannen blir hardt skadet i en ulykke og blir ute av stand til å kommunisere, sannsynligvis for resten av livet. Hans elskede sverger å forbli ved hans side, men etter mange år blir hun fristet til å forlate ham på grunn av en gryende romanse med en av hans beste venner. Hovedrollene spilles av Yuan Li og Liu Yunlong. Den ble tildelt prisen for fremragende film ved Huabiao Awards (sammen med flere filmer). (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
