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.

How it feels

They clash at first, but he decides to write a script to impress her. The two very different people push each other toward their dreams while dealing with the chaos around them.

What happens

『ばしゃ馬さんとビッグマウス』(ばしゃうまさんとビッグマウス)は、2013年11月2日に東映系にて公開された日本映画。 シナリオライターを目指して、ばしゃ馬のように一生懸命シナリオを書き続ける独身、馬淵みち代が通うシナリオスクールで出会ったのは、まだ一度もシナリオを書いたことの無いのに、妙に自信のあるビッグマウスの天童義美だった。 学生時代から必死で書き続けるのにまったく芽が出ない馬淵は、そんな天童に嫌悪感を抱くが、馬淵に一目惚れをした天童は彼女に認めてもらうためにシナリオを書くことを決意する。まるで水と油の二人は反発しながらも、周りで巻き起こる騒動などに翻弄されながら、自分の『夢』にむかって突き進んでいく。しかし一度抱いた夢は叶えるのも諦めるのも難しい。そしていつか決着をつけなければならない。イタい二人はその夢にどう向き合うのかを考えていく、青春ラブコメディ。 ストーリーは監督・脚本の吉田恵輔と同脚本の仁志原了を一部モデルにして作られている。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
