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

Mulheres da Beira é um filme mudo português de ficção e drama trágico, com intertítulos, realizado por Rino Lupo em 1921. A longa-metragem, também conhecida pelo nome de As Mulheres da Beira - Funesta Ambição, é uma adaptação do conto "A Frecha de Mizarela" da colectânea "Mulheres da Beira" (1898) de Abel Botelho. Devido a vários desentendimentos durante o processo de produção e montagem, entre o produtor, o realizador e o director criativo, o filme apenas estreou em 1923. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
