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

Sundowners is a 2017 Canadian comedy-drama film, written and directed by Pavan Moondi. The film stars Phil Hanley as Alex, an aspiring filmmaker who is stuck working as a wedding videographer for unscrupulous boss Tom (Tim Heidecker). Assigned to shoot a destination wedding in Mexico, he enlists his friend Justin (Luke Lalonde) to come along as his assistant only for an endless series of mishaps and snafus to bedevil the proceedings, including Justin's ex-girlfriend (Leah Fay Goldstein) showing up to demand that he pay for the abortion she just had without telling him; groom Mike's (Nick Flanagan) fear that his fiancée Jenny (Cara Gee) will leave him when she finds out he recently declared bankruptcy; and best man Nick (Nicholas Thorburn) planning to break up the wedding because he's in love with Jenny. The cast also includes Jackie Pirico as Jenny's sex-obsessed sister Sarah, Chris Locke as Randy, and David John Philips as Jenny's gay father who is immediately attracted to Justin. The film premiered in April 2017 at the Nashville Film Festival, before going into Canadian commercial release in August. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
