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.

How it feels

A series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities leads to comedic chaos among a group of people in a small town. Two young men pretend to be someone they are not to win over the women they love, while a grumpy businessman gets caught in the middle of the confusion.
