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

Caught in the Act è un film muto del 1918 diretto da Harry Millarde. Priscilla Kane, un'irrequieta ragazza della buona società alla ricerca di eccitanti avventure, scappa dal college e poi rifiuta l'uomo che il padre le vorrebbe far sposare. Un giorno, in un negozio, il giornalista Langdon Trevor la scambia per una sarta e le chiede di venire da lui per un rammendo. Lei, attratta dal giovanotto, non chiarisce l'equivoco e si presenta a casa sua. Durante una delle sue visite, un fotografo assunto da suo padre per spiare Langdon (il giornalista sta mettendo in croce Kane padre accusandolo di essere un profittatore), scatta delle foto che possono sembrare compromettenti. I due innamorati scappano dalla finestra e la fuga finisce con le loro nozze. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
