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

Secret Reunion (Korean: 의형제; RR: Uihyeongje; lit. 'Sworn Brothers; Blood Brothers') is a 2010 South Korean action film directed by Jang Hoon, and one of the highest grossing Korean films of 2010. It follows a former National Intelligence Service (NIS) agent (Song Kang-ho) and a North Korean sleeper operative (Gang Dong-won) who, years after a failed assassination, unexpectedly reunite and form an unlikely bond. This is the second film by director Jang Hoon, who completed Rough Cut two years prior. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
