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.

The film mostly takes place in Hong Kong and Bangkok, Thailand. Produced by Andy Lau's Focus Films, Brothers is directed by Derek Chiu and written by Chan Kin-chung and Y.C. Kong. The film was released in mainland China in the name of 兄弟之生死同盟 (pinyin: Xiōngdì zhī Shēngsǐ Tóngméng; lit. Brothers: Alliance of Life and Death). Co starring leads include Andy Lau, Huang Yi, Felix Wong, Kent Tong and Teddy Lin.
