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

La Gioconda รจ un cortometraggio del 1912 diretto da Luigi Maggi. Lo scultore Lucio, sposato con Silvia e padre di Beata, viene travolto da un'insana passione per la sua modella Gioconda, ma lei lo respinge. Per questo lui tenta il suicidio, ma sua moglie lo salva e poi, conosciutone il motivo, lo perdona. Poi Gioconda ci ripensa e torna da Lucio, ma Silvia la vuole allontanare. Ne nasce una violenta colluttazione in cui Silvia perde l'uso di una mano, ma riesce a prevalere. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
