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.

What happens

Loafing and Camouflage: Sirens in the Aegean is a 2005 motion picture and the second to bear the "Loafing & Camo" stamp (the first being Loafing and Camouflage by Nikos Perakis), although in fact it has nothing to do with that production beyond the military environment. The original sequel to Loafing and Camouflage (1984) was the 1987 film "Living Dangerously" by the same director. The film stars an ensemble cast of Greek and Turkish actors. In 2011, the film "Loafing and Camouflage: Sirens at Land" features the reunion of the cast 8 years later. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
