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

The Diam Diam Era Two (Chinese: 我们的故事之沉默的年代2) is a 2021 Singaporean comedy film directed by Jack Neo. Continuing the story of the Lim family, set in 1988 general election, it tells the story as Lim Ah Kun (Mark Lee), Osman Bin Yusuf (Suhaimi Yusof) and Shamugam S/O Vellasami (Silvarajoo Prakasam) form a seemingly funny but serious opposition party C.M.I. (the abbreviation of Chinese, Malay and Indian), and compete in the fierce election showdown. It is the sequel to Long Long Time Ago, Long Long Time Ago 2 and The Diam Diam Era. The film stars veteran local comedy actors Mark Lee, Henry Thia and Wang Lei. It is released on 11 February 2021 in Singaporean cinemas. Other ensemble cast includes Suhaimi Yusof, Silvarajoo Prakasam, Richie Koh, Danny Lee, Mei Xin, Benjamin Josiah Tan, Regina Lim, Yap Hui Xin, Charmaine Sei, Ryan Lian, Tasha Low, Nurijah Binte Sahat, Bharathi D/O Rani and Joshua Ang. The film is the only local Singaporean film releasing during the 2021 Chinese New Year period. It also marks the fifth on-screen reunion of Mark Lee and Suhaimi Yusof after they starred alongside together in the popular Singaporean sitcom named Police & Thief. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
