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

Cupid Through a Keyhole è un cortometraggio muto del 1913 diretto da Van Dyke Brooke. Mentre si fanno i preparativi per ricevere la visita di zia Maria, due giovani coppie rimangono incidentalmente chiuse nella stessa stanza. La porta d'entrata della casa è rimasta, intanto, aperta e un vagabondo si introduce nell'edificio, banchettando con quel che trova in cucina. Quando zia Maria arriva, scopre le nipoti chiuse con due giovanotti, rimanendo scandalizzata. Le due coppie, rendendosi conto della buffa situazione in cui si sono cacciati, la prendono sul ridere mentre la zia rimane sempre più scioccata. Quando arrivano i genitori, tutto finisce in una cena durante la quale si festeggiano i due fidanzamenti dei ragazzi. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
