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

《新天生一對》(英語:New Perfect Two)是一部2012年上映、台灣與中國大陸合拍的都市劇情片,由星美(北京)影業有限公司、柏合麗影業股份有限公司、安徽廣播電視台等出品,星美影業和光線影業發行,並由台灣著名導演朱延平執導,周渝民、溫玄燁(小小彬)領銜主演。片名雖取自1984年由朱延平執導、著名喜劇影星許不了和溫兆宇(小彬彬,為小小彬之父)主演的電影《天生一對》,且同為親子題材,但兩者在劇情和人物上並無關聯。影片講述了男主人公因事業失敗一蹶不振多年後,其離家的妻子有一天突然回來,並帶回兩人的兒子託付其代為照顧,在長時間的相處過程中,父子兩人的關係從一開始的陌生抗拒逐漸變為相互依存,男主人公亦藉此重拾生活和事業的信心。 本片於2011年5月30日在台灣新北市平溪區的菁桐車站開拍,先後輾轉墾丁、龍潭鄉TIS賽車場等地取景拍攝,同年7月下旬在台北殺青。2012年1月20日,影片在台灣正式公映,同年1月23日在中國大陸上映。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
