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

The Unmarried Wife is a 2016 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Maryo J. de los Reyes (in his final feature film directing role before his death almost two years later) from a story and screenplay written by Vanessa R. Valdez, based on an original story by Keiko Aquino. Starring Angelica Panganiban, Dingdong Dantes, and Paulo Avelino, the film revolves around a woman who was torn between her husband and her lover. Produced and distributed by ABS-CBN Film Productions, the film was theatrically released in the Philippines on November 16, 2016, with limited screenings in the United States and Canada. It marks the reunion of Panganiban and Dantes (which is his fourth film for the film studio) after their box-office success with One More Try (2012), which co-starred with Angel Locsin and Zanjoe Marudo.
