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

L'undicenne Angela Lerro vive a Secondigliano e ha un sogno: diventare una ballerina classica. Suo padre Vincenzo, un camorrista affiliato al clan Peluso, decide di passare con il clan avversario: Acerola. Per evitare una vendetta, tutta la famiglia è costretta a vivere nascosta e Angela non può più frequentare la scuola di ballo. Tuttavia, Angela e sua madre Nunzia non si arrendono, e dopo aver conosciuto l'insegnante di danza Lorenza faranno il possibile per sfuggire alla condizione in cui vivono. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
