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

All Is Fair in Love and War è un cortometraggio muto del 1908 diretto da Gilbert M. 'Broncho Billy' Anderson. Tre amici entrano in competizione quando si mettono a corteggiare una bella ragazza. Ogni volta che uno di loro cerca in qualche modo di rendere omaggio alla giovane, gli altri due gli mettono i bastoni tra le ruote. Non vincerà nessuno dei tre perché alla fine interverrà un poliziotto che scapperà via con la ragazza. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
