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

Char Satiner Ghar (Eng : Four Wives's Forum) is a 2005 social awareness Bengali film directed by Nargis Akhter, based on the story 'Hridoy O Sromer Songsar' by Selina Hossain. The gist of the movie was 'Parents are responsible for having children both ways, and an extra marriage can't cure it'. Alamgir, Bobita, Diti, Shabnur, Mayuri and many others Bangladeshi actors have acted in it. This is the first negative role of actor Alamgir. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
