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

The Rustler's Spur è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Jess Robbins. Lo sceriffo Bradley chiede formalmente la mano di Bessie. Ma, quando il giorno dopo gli viene denunciato un furto di cavalli appartenenti a Harry Todd, tutti gli indizi lo portano a sospettare del fratello della ragazza. Bessie confessa che il ladro è proprio suo fratello. Il quale riesce a fuggire alla cattura. Allo sceriffo poi viene recapitata una lettera dove il giovane ladro gli comunica che potrà trovare tutti i cavalli in un ranch vicino. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
