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

A Second Chance is a 2015 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Cathy Garcia-Molina and co-written by Carmi G. Raymundo and Vanessa R. Valdez. A sequel to Molina's 2007 film One More Chance, John Lloyd Cruz and Bea Alonzo reprised their respective roles as Popoy and Basha. A Second Chance was a box office success, earning ₱43 million on its opening day. It also received generally favorable reviews from film critics and audiences. On its fourth week, the film earned more than ₱556 million worldwide, surpassing Starting Over Again to become the highest-grossing Filipino film of all time until the release of The Super Parental Guardians in 2016. The film was nominated for 14 FAMAS Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director (Garcia-Molina), Best Actor (Cruz), and Best Actress (Alonzo), but it did not win in any category.
