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

Loro is a two-part 2018 Italian drama film directed by Paolo Sorrentino from a screenplay he wrote with Umberto Contarello. Starring Toni Servillo, the film talks about a group of businessmen and politicians—the Loro (Them) from the title—who live and act near to media tycoon and politician Silvio Berlusconi. The film was released in two parts, Act 1 and Act 2, in Italy, and was condensed into a single two-hour film for its international release. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
