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

Fly, Daddy, Fly (Korean: 플라이대디) is a 2006 South Korean drama film. It is based upon a novel of the same name by Japanese author Kaneshiro Kazuki, where the Japanese version of the book was made into a Japanese film in 2005. It was directed by Choi Jong-tae and produced by Dyne Film-Guardtec. Lee Joon-gi was reportedly paid ₩100 million, which is relatively low compared with his rising popularity following King and the Clown. This is because the contract was signed in early December before King and the Clown was released when Lee was an unknown actor. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
