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.

How it feels

A rich broker on vacation mistakenly thinks a country girl is a thief. She also misidentifies him as a farmhand and a crook. A detective chasing the real criminal pressures them both, and the truth comes out at a party.

What happens

The Pretenders è un film muto del 1915 diretto da Robert G. Vignola. Per una serie di equivoci, Dick, un ricco broker in vacanza, è indotto a credere che Elsie, una ragazza conosciuta in campagna, sia non solo la figlia di un contadino, ma anche una ladra. La stessa cosa accade a Elsie, che scambia il suo corteggiatore prima per un bracciante e poi, anche lei, per ladro. Un detective, sulle tracce del vero malvivente, li mette alle strette ma Elsie prova all'investigatore la propria identità ma non la rivela a Dick. Solo quando quest'ultimo la incontra a un party, comincerà ad avere dei dubbi e, alla fine, chiarirà il malinteso. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
