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

D' Anothers is a 2005 Filipino comedy horror film directed by Joyce Bernal and written by Adolfo Alix Jr. and Raymond Lee from a story by Alix. The film tells the story of Hesus Resurreccion (Vhong Navarro), the protagonist who is afraid of ghosts, who inherits an abandoned ancestral mansion that has become a residence of ghosts over the past century. For the ghosts, Hesus is "The One", meaning he is the one who will open a portal to the afterlife. It also stars Toni Gonzaga as Maan Tuken, the protagonist's girlfriend, John Prats as JC, a young man who visits the mansion with his love, who is a ghost, and Tado as Atty. Reposo, the protagonist's lawyer. D' Anothers was released by Star Cinema on July 27, 2005, and was Joyce Bernal's second film as a director, where Vhong Navarro is the lead star, following Mr. Suave (2003) and also the first film where Navarro and Toni Gonzaga (her first film in Star Cinema after transferring to ABS-CBN) teamed up. Throughout its theatrical run, the film became a box-office success. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
