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

Legend of Sudsakorn (Thai: สุดสาคร) is a 2006 Thai fantasy film. It is based on a story from Phra Aphai Mani, a 30,000-line epic poem by Thailand's best-known poet Sunthorn Phu. Charlie Trairat, the young male lead from Fan Chan, portrays the title character, a boy who is the son of a mermaid who is sent on a magical quest to find his father, a prince. It is a mix of live action and computer-generated imagery. The story was previously adapted in the 1979 Thai animated feature, The Adventure of Sudsakorn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
