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

Hana yori Dango Final: The Movie (花より男子(だんご)F(ファイナル), Hana yori Dango Fainaru) is a 2008 Japanese film directed by Yasuharu Ishii and starring Mao Inoue and Jun Matsumoto. It is the last part of the Japanese live-action Boys Over Flowers trilogy, based on the manga series by Yoko Kamio. It is marketed internationally as Boys Over Flowers Final or Boys Over Flowers: The Movie and released in some Asian countries as the latter. The film was released on June 28, 2008, and was subsequently released in Hong Kong, Singapore, and South Korea. It was released direct-to-DVD in Northern America in 2009, making it the first and, for 13 years, only part of the Japanese live-action adaptation with a Western English-subtitled release (the preceding TV series was not released as such until April 2022).
