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

《瓦旦的酒瓶》，為鄭文堂導演為公視人生劇展所拍攝之「部落三部曲」（分別為《瑪雅的彩虹》、《少年阿霸士》，以及《瓦旦的酒瓶》）系列之三。由尤勞．尤幹、莫子儀、吳伊婷、戴立忍、李烈主演，為電影《夢幻部落》的前身。 泰雅原住民瓦旦在意識迷濛之際看到天使給他帶來一封信，指引他到都市去尋找他多年前遺失在水泥磚裡的皮夾。然而，這皮夾也喚起了他埋藏內心深處多年的秘密，也帶領他到都市去尋覓他從前的情人。 滿腦子日本夢的青年小莫，白天在日本料理店工作，夜晚則流連電話交友中心尋找肉體的慰藉填補內心的空虛。某天，一通神秘女孩的來電讓小莫頹廢的生活起了變化，女孩口中所訴說的小米田的故事，漸漸吸引著小莫空虛的心靈。在命運巧合地交織下，三個素未謀面的心靈，即將啟程尋找那心中的夢幻部落。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
