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 series is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What happens

Ang Tanging Ina (lit. 'the only mother') is a 2003 Filipino comedy film directed by Wenn V. Deramas and starring Ai-Ai delas Alas and Eugene Domingo. The film tells the story of a thrice-widowed mother who has 12 kids and the trials they go through as a family. Produced by Star Cinema, the film was theatrically released on May 28, 2003. It broke the record for the highest grossing Filipino film of all time, surpassing Anak; it was later surpassed by Sukob in 2006. The film's success spawned a television series of the same name, as well as three sequels: Ang Tanging Ina N'yong Lahat, Ang Tanging Ina Mo: Last Na 'To!, and Enteng ng Ina Mo.
