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 young temp worker named Takashi takes a job at a restaurant in a Tokyo retirement home to be near a nurse he admires. On his first day, a cranky old ghost attaches itself to him, and the two start an odd shared life.

What happens

『福耳-FUKUMIMI-』(ふくみみ)は、2003年製作の日本映画。宮藤官九郎の初主演映画である。 フリーターの里中高志(演:宮藤官九郎)は、浅草にある高齢者用マンション「東京パティオ」の中にあるレストラン「タイムマシン」で働くことに。理由は以前入院した病院の看護師だった信長珪(演:高野志穂)に一目惚れし跡を追い、彼女がこのマンションでヘルパーとして働いていることを突き止めたため。仕事の初日、マンションの前で高志は不思議な老人(演:田中邦衛)に出会う。実はこの老人はその朝亡くなっていて、この世に未練があるからと高志に取り憑いてしまう。こうしてフリーターの若者と幽霊の老人の奇妙な共同生活が始まった。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
