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

Chotushkone (Bengali: চতুষ্কোণ; English: Quadrangle) is an Indian Bengali thriller drama film directed by Srijit Mukherji, starring Aparna Sen, Goutam Ghose, Chiranjeet Chakraborty, Parambrata Chatterjee and Payel Sarkar. The film received positive reviews from critics and audience alike and is considered to be one of the finest films of Mukherji. Srijit Mukherji won the National Film Award for Best Direction at India's 62nd National Film Awards. The climax reportedly had some loose similarities with the climax of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None. It was declared a "clean hit" in box office. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
