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

『あいあい傘』（あいあいがさ）は、宅間孝行が主宰する劇団「東京セレソンデラックス」の舞台劇。サタケミキオ作・演出により、2007年4月に初演された。25年前に生き別れた父と娘を通じて、家族の絆と愛を描く。 再演がないことから「幻の名作」とされてきたが、宅間主宰の「TAKUMA FESTIVAL JAPAN（タクフェス）」によりタクフェス第6弾公演として2018年に再演され、また同年に小説化、映画化される。 (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
