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

Kilometers and Kilometers is a 2020 Indian Malayalam-language comedy-drama film directed by Jeo Baby. The film is jointly produced by Tovino Thomas, Ramshi Ahamed, Anto Joseph and Sinu Sidharth, under the banner of Anto Joseph Film Company and Ramshi Ahamed Productions. The film starring Tovino Thomas, Joju George, India Jarvis, Sidhartha Siva and Basil Joseph, is a road film that follows the story of an American woman (played by Jarvis) who sets out on a journey with a man from Kottayam (played by Thomas). The title of the film refers to a popular dialogue from the 1986 film Mazha Peyyunnu Maddalam Kottunnu starring Mohanlal and directed by Priyadarshan. Initially scheduled to be released on 12 March 2020, the film was indefinitely postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was finally released worldwide on 31 August 2020, coinciding with Onam festival, through the Asianet television channel. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
