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 Scrub Lady è un cortometraggio muto del 1914. Il nome del regista non viene riportato nei credit del film. Josiah Stevens, un anziano avvocato, deve licenziare la cameriera di casa sua e trovarne un'altra su incarico della moglie; tempo dopo la moglie dell'avvocato lo va a trovare in ufficio e viene scambiata dalla stenografa per la nuova cameriera; ne nasce un equivoco che verrà però presto chiarito.
