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

Very Ordinary Couple (Korean: 연애의 온도; RR: Yeonaeui ondo; lit. Romance's Temperature) is a 2013 South Korean romantic comedy film written and directed by Roh Deok (alternatively spelled Noh Deok), starring Lee Min-ki and Kim Min-hee as a recently separated couple who, being employees at the same bank, must deal with the prospect of continually seeing each other on a daily basis. This inevitably leads to tension and flareups, but over time their feelings towards each other begin to change. This is Roh Deok's feature directorial debut. She based the screenplay on her own love life and those of her circle of friends. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
