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

Inseparable (Chinese: 形影不离) is a 2011 genre-bending Chinese film written and directed by Dayyan Eng. The dramedy/psychological suspense stars Kevin Spacey, Daniel Wu and Gong Beibi. Inseparable premiered in 2011 at the Busan International Film Festival and was released in China in May 2012. The film was selected by the Wall Street Journal as one of the "Top 10 Most Notable Asian Films" of 2011.
