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 Value of Mothers-in-Law è un cortometraggio muto del 1913. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit. Il signor e la signora Newly Hitched litigano perché lei suscita la gelosia del marito portando l'anello di un altro uomo e lui conserva il ventaglio di un'altra donna. A casa dei Newly Hitched arrivano le rispettive madri e suocere, informate dai figli della loro diatriba. Ci penseranno le due signore a risolvere il pasticcio e a rimettere insieme i due "bambini" capricciosi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
